Скачать или смотреть Think Drink – How patient feedback reduced patient fasting times before surgery

This film outlines a project delivered by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust which has reduced patient fasting times before surgery from an average of nine hours to, currently, an average of 3.5 hours. The project was prompted by patient feedback about the discomfort of fasting and problems of dehydration, so staff looked at the surgical and dietary needs and developed processes to tailor fasting to each patient’s situation. Staff explain how they made the project a success and what the benefits have been.
The project won the overall national Insight for Improvement category of the Patient Experience Network Awards, announced in March 2016, awards which are supported by NHS England to showcase good practice from acting on patient feedback.
