Satisfaction surveys are given to all patients upon discharge from the Trust’s Community Inpatient<br />

areas. Community inpatient services are provided from four wards across three sites, Longleat Ward<br />

- Warminster <strong>Hospital</strong>, Aylesbury Ward - Savernake <strong>Hospital</strong>, <strong>and</strong> two wards at Chippenham<br />

Community <strong>Hospital</strong>, Cedar Ward <strong>and</strong> Beech Ward which is a Stroke rehabilitation Unit. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

currently low numbers of participants in the surveys. <strong>The</strong> Community Inpatient Survey will be<br />

incorporated within the patient survey tender in quarter one 2012/13.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Community Inpatient Survey results demonstrate that the Community Inpatient areas are<br />

consistently achieving this measure.<br />

Priority 15: To ensure staff are available to discuss care concerns with patients <strong>and</strong><br />

their carers<br />

• Q1 Performance April to June 2011: 40.7% - Achieved<br />

• Q2 Performance July to September 2011: 54.5% - Achieved<br />

• Q3 Performance October to December 2011: 61.6% - Not achieved<br />

• Q4 Performance January to March 2012: Data not yet available<br />

<strong>The</strong> National Inpatient Survey 2010 showed that 59% of patients could not always find a member of<br />

staff to discuss concerns with. During quarters one <strong>and</strong> two 2011/12, there has been an increase in<br />

patient satisfaction in this measure, which decreased in quarter three. Posters showing photographs<br />

of the Ward Managers <strong>and</strong> Matrons have been displayed during March 2012, to inform patients of the<br />

clinical managers in the ward should they wish to speak with some one. <strong>The</strong> introduction of bedside<br />

h<strong>and</strong>overs will also increase the availability of nursing staff to speak with patients about their care.<br />

• Q1 Performance April to June 2011: 10.1% - Not achieved<br />

• Q2 Performance July to September 2011: 6.2% - Not Achieved<br />

• Q3 Performance October to December 2011: 9% - Not achieved<br />

• Q4 Performance January to March 2012: Data not yet available<br />

<strong>The</strong> results of the Community Inpatient Survey show that there is further work required to improve<br />

patient satisfaction in this area.<br />

Further actions required:<br />

• Roll out of ward managers surgeries to encourage patients <strong>and</strong> their carers to ask questions<br />

<strong>and</strong> query care whilst on the ward<br />

• Bedside h<strong>and</strong>overs to keep patients aware of their care <strong>and</strong> to be informed of any tests or<br />

procedures to be carried out during that shift<br />

• Posters showing photographs of the Ward Manager <strong>and</strong> Matron to be displayed<br />
