Fab five medals
for swimmer Cath
SPECIAL Care Baby Unit sister
Cath Whitworth has returned
from the World Transplant games
with an amazing five medals.
Cath scooped two silvers and
three bronzes in her five races - the
50m butterfly, 200m free-style,
400m free-style, 200 individual
medley and 100m breast stroke
at the games in Bangkok.
She is thrilled with achieving
a medal in every race and
loved taking part.
Cath, who works at CRH, said:
“It’s brilliant to take part. It is like
one big family. They clap you home if
you win – and they clap if you lose.
“It got people in Bangkok
talking about the games – even
the taxi drivers were asking
how we were doing.”
Cath underwent a liver
replacement operation in 1999
at St James’s Hospital in Leeds
when she was 34 after she
was diagnosed with an autoimmune
disease. She swam
in the 2003 World Games in
France and won one bronze.
‘Everyone in
Bangkok was talking
about the games
– even the taxi
drivers were asking
how we were doing.’
She added: “Bangkok was very
humid which is very draining, and at
times it was quite chaotic but it was
fab just to be able to say I was there.
“It was also great to come home as
my family are so proud. I would like to
thank everyone for all their support.”
The games are held to show there
is life after a transplant and raise
awareness about organ donation.
Winning ways:

OUR consultant paediatrician
Mike Sills has been nominated
for “Friend of the Year” in
local community awards.
Several patients have nominated
him for the Huddersfield
Examiner’s Community Awards
for his work with a support group
for children with diabetes.
One of the nominations says he
has always there for families – one
saying “even on Christmas Day”.
With the Trust since 1983 he
started the diabetes group and has
helped develop it over the years.
The group organises hugely popular
weekends away for the youngsters
amongst many other activities.
Dr Sills said the brilliant
teams he works with makes
the service so special.
He said: “There are a lot of people
in many teams I work with who give
so much of themselves and work
with so much passion with children.
The success is due to harnessing
that passion. It is a privilege to work
with children and their families.”
The awards will be held next
month at the
Galpharm
Stadium in
Huddersfield.

More MRSA experts
THE Trust is to create 50 new link
practitioners in all departments
to boost the momentum in the
fight against infections where
it counts – at the frontline!
The Infection Control Link
Practitioners are part of the Trust’s
new MRSA Action Plan which
sets out all measures aimed at
reducing infection rates further.
The practioners will be nurses and
other health professionals with a
special interest in infection control
and will be fully trained up in best
practices by the Infection Control
Teams. They will be our permanent
frontline specialists advising the rest of
staff on the wards and departments.
They will also collect audit data
and share the results helping them
to make improvements in practice.
There are plans to extend them to
up to 100 if it proves successful.
The new roles are among a raft of new
measures, which also include extending
patient screening and using more
effective products to prevent infections,
particularly with catheters and cannulae.
Medical director Yvette Oade,
said: “Our infection control nurses
are working flat out but infection
control isn’t just their business, it
is for everybody - for everybody to
set an example and to point out to
others where they could improve.
“Senior staff should set examples
to junior staff by adhering to the
rules regarding jewellery and watches
and rolling up their sleeves and
decontaminating their hands.”

Vimal said: “Naturally

here at Calderdale Royal.
CONSULTANT John Naylor has
lost a staggering four and a half
stone in just five months - after he
was asked at an appraisal when
his last health check-up was.
The kindly inquiry sent him to the
doctors where his weight was checked
and he left vowing to get fitter.
Dr Naylor, consultant in elderly
medicine, said: “I did not know
by what extent my weight had
climbed over the years. I thought
at the age of 46, 16 and a half
stone was too much and I knew
I needed to exercise more.”
John’s new health regime
involved taking on the Examiner

where he committed to cycling

so now going out for a bike ride
has become a pleasure rather
than a chore and it is something
that I intend to keep doing.”
Other than incorporating exercise
into his daily routine, John is not
dieting and has not changed his
eating habits much. In fact, he thinks
he eats more now to keep his energy
levels up, and thanks to the exercise,
the pounds keep dropping off.
John added: “Losing weight
was never my key aim, getting
fit was, but of course the two
do go hand in hand and it has
changed my life for the better.
“I can now do things I never
would have been able to, like go for
a run on the beach on holiday. I can
also borrow some of my son’s more
fashionable clothes, which pleases me
no end, but I’m not sure about him!”

birth month
CALDERDALE’S community midwives
are celebrating after their busiest
ever month since records began.
In August, 74 babies were born on
the midwife-led unit at Calderdale
Royal Hospital, which is run by
the community team, and there
were also nine homebirths.
The MLU has six rooms and a poolroom,
but will move to a larger ward
area in CRH when obstetric services
move from HRI. It aims to help
women stay active during labour and
have as natural a birth as possible.
Janet Russell-Cox, community midwife
on the unit, said: “Our birthing rooms
are equipped with bean bags, kneeling
matts and birth stools so women
have lots of methods to help them try
to relax whilst they are in labour.
The midwife-led unit is run by a
small core team of seven midwives,
seven health care assistants, and a
ward clerk, who are supported by
community-based colleagues.
Janet adds: “Thanks to the hard
work and dedication of staff the
unit is thriving and over the past six
years, we have seen our birth rates
increase, with 710 babies being
born in our best year to date.”
The unit’s excellent reputation has
resulted in requests from student
midwives from all over the UK, and
as far a field as Germany, who are
eager to gain first-class experience
of midwife-led birthing ethos.
Calderdale’s community midwives
also look after local women who choose
to have their babies at home, through
a 24-hour on-call system. Waterbirth
is an option for women both at home
and in hospital, and some of the
midwives are also qualified in alternative
therapies including aromatherapy,
homeopathy, and acupuncture.
Upgraded
Bathrooms on ward 3, which
is for vascular patients, at
Huddersfield Royal Infirmary
have had an upgrade.
The new, modern ‘wet rooms’
are open-plan which means
there is no step into the shower
which can be difficult for
some patients to negotiate.
Ward sister Marie-noelle
Parkinson said: “We welcome
the new design of the
bathrooms as many patients
on our ward have limited
mobility so the open plan
layout is more practical.”
All change: The new facilities

Questionnaires for the annual staff
survey will be going out in the mail to
a random selection of 850 members
of staff early next month. The survey
is organised and managed by the
Healthcare Commission and includes
questions around the working lives
of staff. The results contribute to the
annual NHS performance ratings but
more importantly, they help the Trust
to identify areas for improvement.
In last year’s survey, the Trust was
ranked in the top 20 per cent of acute
trusts for its low incidences of:
■ Staff working more than
their contracted hours
■ Staff working more than
their contracted hours due to
pressures/demands of the job
■ Staff suffering work related injuries
■ Harassment, bullying or abuse
by other members of staff
The Trust also rated highly
in the following areas:
■ Job satisfaction
■ Team working
■ Support from managers
■ Quality of work-life balance
■ Opportunities for flexible working.
There were some areas for
improvement, and we continue
to address these through a
number of working groups.
As a result of last year’s survey we have:
■ Improved the Personal Development
Review (PDR) process and introduced
Knowledge Skills Framework
(KSF) outlines for all staff
■ Introduced a range of new training
programmes, including customer service
■ Revised and improved our
Health and Safety Training
Programme. A new programme will
be rolled out in the New Year.
■ Set up a Well-being Strategy
Group to identify ways of preventing
stress, and support for staff who
are suffering from stress
■ Made improvements to the
incident reporting process
■ Implemented a zero tolerance
policy and developed close links
with the police to demonstrate our
commitment to protecting staff
■ Set up a communications
network to improve Trust-wide
communications and staff involvement
Julie Hull, director of Personnel
and Development, said: “Taking
part in the National Staff Survey
allows us to measure year-on-year
improvements to the quality of your
working life. Please take a few minutes,
in working time, to complete the
questionnaire. Your views are very
important to us, and really do count.”
Foreign trip: Vicki and Graham in Japan
A memorable
experience
INTENSIVE Care Unit nurse Vicki
Scurrah and Ear Nose and Throat surgeon
Graham Smelt at HRI have been on
a once in a lifetime trip to Japan with
the Huddersfield Choral Society.
The pair were part of a 90-strong
group of singers that travelled to the Far
East to perform at a memorial event
to mark the 62nd anniversary of the
Hiroshima bombings (August 6).
As well as the Huddersfield Choral Society
performers at the commemorative occasion
- which took place at the Osaka Festival Hall
on Saturday 4 August - included the Osaka
Choir, Trinity Boys Choir, Izumi Sinfoniette
and the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra.
Graham, who has been with the
society for more than 19 years, said:
“By performing Britten’s War Requiem,
we added power and zest to the mix at
what was a very memorable concert.”
Vicki, who has been with the society for
seven years, said: “Being given the chance
to sing at this poignant event was a once in
a lifetime experience and I am delighted to
have had the chance to take part in it.”
LEADERSHIP walk rounds - designed to
connect the leadership of the Trust to
the safety issues on the shop floor – are
part of the Safer Patients Initiative. (SPI)
Two directors – one clinical and
one non-clinical - visit an area at
a pre-agreed time to discuss and
talk to staff on the front line about
patient safety issues that affect
them on a day to day basis.
Divisional director for surgery
and anesthetics David Wise and
director of operations Mark
Partington headed onto ward 12
at HRI for the latest. Each visit
normally lasts up to 1.5 hours.
The general manager for the
area and a representative from
the Patient Safety team taking
notes accompanies them.
At the end of the walk round the
team will sit down and discuss the
issues raised and draw up an action
plan which will be then followed
through by the general manager.
The aim of the walk rounds are
to get to the issues that affect
patients and staff on a daily basis.
Eleven walk rounds have now
taken place across the Trust and a
programme of two per month has
been set up for the next year visiting
clinical and non clinical areas.
Zoe Mason, SPI project manager,
said: “Feedback from staff involved
had been extremely positive.
They are and encouraged to see
senior members of staff visiting
the wards and departments and
listening to their concerns.”

Mike’s Great
North mission
MIKE Culshaw, clinical director
of pharmacy, is taking part in
the Great North Run to raise
funds after his nephew was
diagnosed with a brain tumour.
He will be running with his 17-
year-old son Joe and they hope
to complete the event on Sunday,
September 30, in just over two
hours and raise £500 for the Leedsbased
charity, ‘Candlelighters’-
Fighting Children’s Cancer.”
Mike said: “We chose the
charity because my 14-year-old
nephew, David, was diagnosed
with a brain tumour last year.
“Initially, the family were
devastated by the news but
David has made an excellent
recovery following chemotherapy
and surgical intervention.
“His inner strength, positive
attitude and a silent determination
to overcome his condition have
been an inspiration to the whole
family and leave you with a
feeling to do something to help
others in a similar situation.”
Candlelighters is a group of
parents of children treated at the
Yorkshire Paediatric Oncology and
Haematology Unit at St James’s
Hospital in Leeds who raise
money for toys, books, holidays
for the children and fund research,
equipment and staff for the unit.
Pharmacy technician Sandra Casper
is an active fund-raiser for the charity
and over the years has raised £10,000
following a diagnosis of leukaemia
in her daughter some time ago.
Mike was 50 this year and
the Great North Run will be a
tremendous challenge for him.
He added: “If I can do it at
50 and almost 16 stone then I
am certain that anyone can!”
