In response to a question from KT about the initial cause forcomplaint, PS acknowledged that the delivery of medication everytwo hours did create pressures for staff but the knowledge fromthis Ward on how best to prioritise this would be shared with otherMedical wards. SP noted that the willingness to share this type ofstory demonstrated the maturity of the patient story format at theTrust. He asked whether staff were given training to deal withthese situations. PS replied that much was down to clinicalleadership in addressing issues immediately to stop theseescalating. She also noted that the Board discussion and supportfor staff to deal this so staff are aware of this.PG added that issues with patients' medication often arose onemergency admissions when the information about the patient'smedication was not always available. He highlighted that theEmergency Department (ED) had access to a Summary CareRecord and can access information from GPs directly. MA notedthat in this case the issue was due to how challenging it was togive the patient the medication on such a frequent basis.RR reported that the Patient Experience and CommunicationsCommittee (PECC) had discussed filming patient stories so thatthese could be shared more widely as they were very powerful.
