  • Integration Joint Board 13Th September 2018 Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to People with Dementia in Community Hospital
    Integration Joint Board 13th September 2018 Subject: Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to people with dementia in Community Hospitals Purpose: To provide an update as to the feedback from the Mental Welfare Commission (MWC) on their announced inspection visits to people with dementia in community hospitals, highlighting areas of good practice noted and recommendations made for areas of required improvement. Recommendation: Integrated Joint Board (IJB) members to please note the content of the report and consider the implementation of the supporting action plan which has been developed in response to the recommendations of the above noted report. Glossary of Terms AWI Adults with Incapacity IJB Integration Joint Board HSCP Health & Social Care Partnership MWC Mental Welfare Commission NHSAA NHS Ayrshire & Arran 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 In May 2018 the MWC for Scotland published the “Visiting and monitoring report: Themed Visit to people with dementia in community hospitals” (Appendix 1). The report provides a picture of the experience of patients and carers in community hospitals across Scotland and contains twelve recommendations for IJB’s around improving the care provided within community hospitals, whilst also highlighting areas of good practice. 1.2 Community Hospital Ward Environments: Although ward environments visited were generally found to be clean and in good decorative order, the findings of the report were that more work could be done to make environments more dementia friendly. Furthermore, although there was a strong focus on physical rehabilitation within ward environments, the overall picture was of very limited meaningful and stimulating activity for people with dementia. Wards areas that had access to specialist dementia services and/or a dementia champion were found to display clear benefits in terms of supporting the development of good practice in dementia care.

  • Trystview Ward, Bellsdyke Hospital, Stirling Road, Larbert, FK5 4WR Date of Visit: 31 October 2016
    Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland Report on announced visit to: Trystview Ward, Bellsdyke Hospital, Stirling Road, Larbert, FK5 4WR Date of visit: 31 October 2016 V3 -11/5/2016 Where we visited Trystview is a 20-bedded mental health ward for patients aged 18-65 who require intermediate care or more intensive slow stream rehabilitation. We last visited this service on 8 May 2016 and made recommendations around the following: review of the population mix and age range, adequate staff numbers, psychology, occupational therapy and physiotherapy input, consent to treatment and specified person documentation and review of annual physical health and national screening checks. On the day of this visit, we wanted to follow up on the previous recommendations and also look at how the reduction to 20 beds from 30 has affected the organisation and management of Trystview. Who we met with We met with and reviewed the care and treatment of seven patients. We spoke with the senior charge nurse and the service manager. Commission visitors David Barclay, Nursing Officer Margo Fyfe, Nursing Officer Moira Healy, Social Work Officer What people told us and what we found Trystview is now a 20-bedded unit in the grounds of Bellsdyke Hospital. There were 19 patients in the ward on the day of our visit. The bed numbers have been reduced in the last few months as patients have moved on to more suitable non-clinical long term placements in care homes and supported accommodation. The numbers of nursing staff have remained the same and there will be some redesigning of the ward to create accommodation for women with mental illness who require higher levels of support and supervision in a low secure environment.

  • NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND
    NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTORS REPORT – EMERGING ISSUES AND UPDATES Report by Iain Stewart, Chief Executive The Board is asked to: • Note the updates provided in the report. Introduction from CEO The engagement strategy which is helping to shape the ‘Culture Fit for the Future’ has been moving ahead. Fiona Hogg will be giving a detailed update on our progress with our Culture Programme later in the agenda. I am pleased with the progress which is being made, it’s a long-term piece of work which needs careful research and planning to make sure we understand the problems we need to address. There are some key milestones being achieved and presented at this Board meeting. A governance structure is in place and our revised plans are ready to be agreed and rolled out. Many of the actions planned have been shaped by our ongoing engagement with the Board and with our colleagues across North Highland and Argyll & Bute and I’m delighted that our impending review in Argyll & Bute is going to provide further valuable insights and information. In terms of the cost improvement programme, we continue to make good progress, with the current level of identified opportunities valued at £29M which when adjusted for the likelihood of delivery reduces to £22M. Of particular note is that 80% of the forecast savings are recurrent so the savings gain will benefit future financial years. Workstreams are ensuring the remaining plans in this financial year are approved, that ideas are progressed to plans and that changes already implemented go on to deliver the expected savings.
