5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Annual ... - Monitor

Part 1 – Our Commitment to Quality
1.1 Our Quality Report 2011-12
This is the third Quality Report that has been produced by 5 Boroughs
Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Our Quality Report is published alongside
our Annual Report which we will continue to produce each year and make
available as a public statement of our commitment to improving quality and
safety in the Trust.
In April 2011 the Trust acquired Knowsley Integrated Provider Services (KIPS)
as part of the Transforming Community Services initiative. This report includes
the quality priorities established for both organisations in March 2011. The
quality priorities for the coming year have been established for the Trust as a
whole.
The purpose of our Quality Report is to demonstrate the Trust’s commitment
to improving quality and safety for the people who use our services. It
presents:
Where improvements in quality are required
What we are doing well as an organisation
How service users, staff and the wider community are engaged in working
with us to improve quality of care within the Trust.
1.2 Chief Executive’s Statement
All providers of NHS healthcare services are required to produce a Quality
Report - an annual report to the public about the quality of services delivered.
We welcome this opportunity to take an honest look at how well we have
performed during the reporting year and to outline future improvements we
aim to make.
We have worked with the following groups to produce our Quality Report:
Clinical Governance and Clinical Risk Committee
Council of Members via our Compliance with Authorisation Committee
Staff, service users and carers from across the breadth of our
organisation.
We have also consulted with key external stakeholders including:
Overview & Scrutiny Committees
Local Involvement Networks (LINks).
You can read what our stakeholders have to say about our quality
performance in Appendix 1 (page 114).
One of our Trust values is: ‘We value quality and strive for excellence in
everything we do’. I am delighted that this Quality Report evidences our
commitment to this value across the breadth of our services.
