The Metropolitan Borough, which includes the towns of Stourbridge and Halesowen, had a population of 312,900. Dudley is sometimes called the capital of the Black Country. Originally a market town, Dudley was one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution and grew into an industrial centre in the 19th century with its iron, coal, and limestone industries before their decline and the relocation of its commercial centre to the nearby Merry Hill Shopping Centre in the 1980s. Tourist attractions include Dudley Zoo and Castle, the 12th century priory ruins, and the Black Country Living Museum. Russells Hall Hospital is an NHS general hospital located in Dudley, West Midlands, England, managed by the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust.

It is based on a combination of what we found when we inspected, information from our ‘Intelligent Monitoring’ system, and information given to us from patients, the public and other organisations. Ratings Overall rating for this hospital Requires improvement ––– Accident and emergency Requires improvement ––– Medical care Good ––– Surgery Good ––– Critical care Requires improvement ––– Maternity and family planning Requires improvement ––– Services for children and young people Good ––– End of life care Good ––– Outpatients Good ––– 1 Russells Hall Hospital including Corbett and Dudley Guest Quality Report 03/12/2014 Summary of findings Letter from the Chief Inspector of Hospitals We carried out this comprehensive inspection as part of the new hospital inspection programme and as a follow up to the Keogh review which took place in 2013. Of the 14 trusts inspected under the Keogh review for the quality and safety of their services, The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust was one of only three trusts that were not put into special measures. That review identified concerns regarding: • governance arrangements • the need to embed a culture of learning from incidents • how the trust uses and reviews mortality data • the system for bed management and patient flows • embedding patient experience in the organisation’s learning and strategy • staffing levels and skills mix • safety and equipment checks • pressure ulcer care.

If you and your GP decide that you need to see a specialist for more treatment, you can now choose where and when to have your treatment from a list of hospitals or clinics. Why has patient choice been introduced? Research has shown that patients want to be more involved in making decisions and choosing their healthcare. Most of the patients who are offered a choice of hospital consider the experience to be positive and valuable. The NHS is changing to give you more choice and flexibility in how you are treated. Your choices Your local choices are included in this booklet. If you do not want to receive your treatment at a local hospital, your GP will be able to tell you about your choices of other hospitals across England.
