Choosing Your Hospital Choosing your hospital East Riding of Yorkshire Primary Care Trust For most medical conditions, you can now choose where and when to have your treatment. This booklet explains more about choosing your hospital. You will also find information about the hospitals you can choose from. Second edition December 2006 Contents What is patient choice? 1 Making your choice 2 How to use this booklet 3 Where can I have my treatment? 4 Your hospitals A to Z 7 Your questions answered 33 How to book your appointment 35 What do the specialty names mean? 36 What does the healthcare jargon mean? 38 Where can I find more information and support? 40 How do your hospitals score? 41 Hospital score table 46 What is patient choice? 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. As well as the hospitals listed in this booklet, your GP may be able to suggest community-based services, such as GPs with Special Interests or community clinics. Or, if your GP decides to refer you to a Clinical Assessment Service and you then need to go to hospital, you will be able to choose from this list of hospitals. General information 1 Making your choice In choosing where to have your outpatient appointment, you will be choosing where to receive your full treatment, if you need it. This will include your initial outpatient appointment and any other appointments for treatment (for example, inpatient care) or aftercare. However, if you are not happy with your chosen hospital after your outpatient appointment, your GP can make you an appointment at another hospital. If you need very specialised care, you may need to be referred to another hospital. You may also be transferred to another specialty if the hospital doctor feels that this is more appropriate for your condition. 2 General information How to use this booklet This booklet includes information about your choice of hospitals. Use the ‘Where can I have my treatment?’ table on page 4 to find out which hospitals offer your treatment. You can then find information about individual hospitals. This starts on page 7. You can also find out how your hospital scores against a number of measures, some of which are patients’ views. This information starts on page 46. You will also find other information in this booklet to help you make your choice. You can use the 'Contents list' at the beginning of the booklet to find this information. You can also find more information on www.nhs.uk Your local library can help you use the internet to search for more information on choosing your hospital. See the 'Where can I find more information and support?' page later in this booklet for some website addresses that you can use. General information 3 Where can I have my treatment? Use the chart below to check which hospitals provide the service you need. In addition to the hospitals listed, your GP may be able to refer you to community-based or other services. Ask him or her what’s available in your local area. He or she will also advise you if the service you need is not listed.

I can confirm that the contents of your Regulation 28 Report have been shared with the relevant staff to enable us to provide you with a comprehensive response. In your report you highlight that your matters of concern were as follows: (1) Mr Nyeruke’s medical conditions were not made known to the Trust. In consequence, he had worked on wards where patients had infections involving multi-resistant organisms. Given his compromised immune state, this situation involved risk to both patients and Mr Nyeruke himself. In the absence of information concerning a particular staff member’s medical condition there is a risk of transmission of infections either to or from the staff member. (2) There is scant evidence as to whether Mr Nyeruke underwent appropriate training in respect of PPE such as masks before being permitted to work on a ward involving infectious diseases. The difficulties involved (where a support worker supplied by a nursing agency is only in the hospital for a brief period) are acknowledged.
