QIPP and theatre project<br />
Published<br />
There are lots of changes<br />
happening in all our public services,<br />
including the NHS. These changes<br />
aim to improve healthcare services<br />
for patients.<br />
The Great Yarmouth and<br />
Waveney System QIPP and Reform<br />
Plan 2011/12 to 2014/15 has now<br />
been published.<br />
The bodies responsible for<br />
organising and delivering care<br />
for people in Great Yarmouth<br />
and Waveney have made a joint<br />
commitment to improving the<br />
quality of care, to helping people<br />
stay as healthy as possible and to<br />
reducing health inequalities.<br />
There are many plans in place<br />
to make sure changes to the system<br />
are invisible to patients, who will<br />
continue to go to their GP, dentist,<br />
pharmacist, optician, hospital,<br />
mental health or community service<br />
just as before. For Great Yarmouth<br />
and Waveney, the overarching plan<br />
that brings everything together<br />
is called ‘QIPP’, which stands for<br />
Quality, Innovation, Productivity<br />
and Prevention.<br />
The QIPP plan has been signed<br />
off by everyone involved in health<br />
and social care in Great Yarmouth<br />
and Waveney, including the <strong>James</strong><br />
<strong>Paget</strong> <strong>University</strong> Hospital. It states<br />
how the best quality services will<br />
be delivered at the best value, and<br />
how some things will be done<br />
differently.<br />
The QIPP plan outlines how<br />
money can be invested to deliver<br />
the best value and best quality<br />
services for the 230,000 patients<br />
covered. The plan sets out the<br />
challenges we will all face over the<br />
coming years.<br />

System QIPP and Reform Plan is<br />

Theatre Project<br />
The Trust is embarking on a major £9<br />
million investment that will see its main<br />
operating theatre complex upgraded.<br />
The hospital is currently out to<br />
tender for the operating theatres project<br />
that will cost between £8m and £9m.<br />
Construction is due to start in Spring 2012<br />
and finish 18 months later.<br />
The new main theatre complex will<br />
see six existing main operating theatres<br />
expanded, the construction of a new<br />
plant room, and a new service corridor.<br />
The major construction project will<br />
be carried out in two phases to enable<br />
neighouring operating theatres to<br />
continue running. The <strong>first</strong> phase will see<br />
construction of a new structural frame to<br />
support the new plant room and the new<br />
service corridor. The second phase will<br />
see the operating theatres expanded and<br />
completely refitted.<br />
All six of the operating theatres will<br />
get ultraclean laminar airflow. Laminar<br />
flow involves ultraclean ventilation to<br />
reduce the number of organisms present<br />
in the air. A continuous flow of highly<br />
filtered air is recirculated under positive<br />
pressure into the operating theatre<br />
and air contaminants generated during<br />
surgery are removed.<br />
Chief executive Wendy Slaney said:<br />
“We are delighted to be making this very<br />
substantial investment in our surgical<br />
services. The six new main operating<br />
theatres will offer our patients and our<br />
theatre teams the very latest clinical<br />
facilities“.<br />
