Trust Board Febuary 2010 - Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals

SWBTB (2/10) 035 (a)
HOBtPCT PPI staff provided feedback from presentations given to 151 people through Ward
Sub Committee meetings in Lozells and East Handsworth, Soho and Sparkbrook, Patient
Networks in Aston and Nechells, Ladywood and Summerfield, Lozells and East Handsworth and
Soho, a Neighbourhood Forum in Soho Finger and Gib Heath, a meeting held at Arya Samaj and
voluntary and community organisations through the Third Sector Assembly. Staff also attended
an Open Day for the Newtown Neighbourhood Management Programme at which over 200
people were present.
As well as these data sources, the findings in this document take into account comments from
the Joint Health Scrutiny Committee (OSC held on 12th January 2010), RCRH (30th October
2009) and staff consultation activity carried out by SWBHT with 70+ staff, plus another 11
people through informal consultation.
The consultation phase was informed by both the pre-engagement work and an Equalities
Impact Assessment and findings are presented against key themes including young people, men
and Black and Minority Ethnic groupings. The Equalities Impact Assessment particularly
identified Yemeni and Somali women and the report includes information about the views of
these communities.
2.2 Data Analysis
The data gathered through questionnaires and focus groups was subjected to a three stage
process of analysis through which the data was systematically and comprehensively reviewed:
Stage 1:
Stage 2:
Stage 3:
Immersion - the process by which the team becomes familiar with the collected
data.
Categorising and indexing - using a coding framework and key word searches to
identify both commonalities and anomalies.
Thematic summaries - by which the data and information is grouped around
emerging themes.
