We have three main organisational objectives, all of which we are committed to and working to improve: 1) Patient safety and clinical quality. 2) Patient and staff experience. 3) Productivity and efficiency. 4 elcome to our third Wannual report as a Foundation Trust. We would like to begin this report by thanking our staff for all their hard work and dedication over the year. One major event for our organisation was the transfer of around 1,400 staff members working in community services. The transfer took place on 1st April 2011 as part of the Government’s Transforming Community Services (TCS) programme. The aim of the national TCS programme is to secure greater effectiveness and efficiencies in community services so that they can provide modern personalised and responsive care of a consistently high standard. In Manchester, community health services transferred from NHS Manchester (Manchester Primary Care Trust) and split across and merged into four main NHS organisations including our own. The community services transferred to us included Adult Services (eg District Nursing) for the central Manchester area, along with Children’s Services, Contraception and Sexual Health, Community Dentistry, and Learning Disabilities services for the whole of the city. Our Quality Campaign, which was launched on 12th May 2009, goes from strength to strength with each of our divisions working hard to improve quality for patients within their wards and departments. The campaign focuses on many areas such as implementing, measuring, recognising and rewarding high quality standards thereby supporting one of our key objectives of improving patient safety and patient experience. Following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission, we were pleased with their report which confirmed we are meeting all essential standards. Their report highlighted each Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive standard and how we are performing against it.

Chairman In the first part of 2011 our second series of ‘Children’s Hospital’ was broadcast for 12 weeks on ITV1. This is a prime-time series, which achieves over 3 million viewers each week and features the work and staff of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. In these current challenging times with the impact of the financial and economic climate it is more Mike Deegan important than ever to ensure that staff are engaged Chief Executive 6 ollowing the move into our Fnew hospitals during 2009, the opening of the boulevard in 2010, running through the middle of the site has brought into sharp focus the real vision that went into the design and planning of the whole site. We have spent this last year concentrating on settling in and delivering high quality, safe care to all our patients. Almost by definition, healthcare is a high risk area. Despite best efforts things do not always go as well as patients and staff would hope. Maintaining and improving patient safety is a primary concern for the organisation. As every hospital does, we are constantly seeking to reduce harm from patient safety incidents. At the beginning of this year we set some ambitious targets for improvement in some specific areas, and I’m pleased to report we were able to achieve almost everything we set out to do. The Trust Quality Accounts set out all of these achievements in detail but some of the headlines include a marked reduction in the number of serious incidents even from the small number we had previously recorded; achieving the national standard of 90% of all patients being assessed for the risk of developing thrombosis whilst in hospital; significant reduction in problems with medication; greatly improved performance in the national stroke audit with our score better than the national average. We also learned that over an earlier period, we were the best performing hospital nationally in outcomes following bowel cancer surgery. All of these improvements are a reflection of the care and attention that staff pay to safety and to ensuring that they offer every patient their best effort every time.
