Warrington & Halton Hospitals Ward Visits
On 22 November and 11 December 2018, members of our Enter & View team visited Warrington and Halton Hospitals Foundation Trust to carry out Enter & View visits to wards A5 and C23 at Warrington Hospital and wards B1 and B3 at Halton Hospital.
The report contained the following recommendations:
- Ensure that residents have their cultural and spiritual needs met by facilitating church visits or masses within the home for all
- Display Healthwatch information posters and leaflets on wards to increase staff and patient knowledge of our service, encouraging engagement and feedback
- Welcome and question visitors as they enter the wards
- Ensure all walkways are clear of clutter such as cleaning equipment and personal belongings.
- Ensure consistency across the wards with the use of Patient Information boards. 1 ward updated the board daily, 1 wards board was 20 days out of date and 2 wards were not using the boards at all and had introduced more permanent printed posters
- Consider introducing more activities to wards B3 and B1 at Halton Hospital for long stay patients to help improve wellbeing
- Review storage arrangements in ward B3
Update May 2019 : An action plan was developed by the Trust to review and carry out recommendations made within the report
