Our local hospital provider has been reported as providing a
poor service for patients presenting with fractured neck of femur in the National Hip Fracture Database; reported in local
media. Whilst this report was
published recently, it was an issue that the hospital identified and took action
on in 2012, including an independent review by the British Orthopaedic
Association. These actions were reported
in the hospital’s Quality Accounts
for 2012/13. Today we undertook a review of the hospitals actions
and were pleased with progress being made.
Some actions are yet to have their full impact, so we expect further improvement. The openness of the hospital to our support
and challenge has been encouraging.
