Fatima Memorial Hospital is the first charitable Trust Hospital in Pakistan, and its sponsoring body is Ferozesons Trust. In order to continue to provide services to the needy, the Trust needed to continuously improve its financial resources. When Dr. Qureshi took over the charge of the Hospital as its ACEC, he was asked to streamline the management systems to build a lean organization. He decided to outsource the janitorial services as a pilot project to achieve a number of objectives. If the janitorial services experiment proved successful, then the project would extend to laundry work as well. After the janitorial services were outsourced, concerns regarding cleanliness of the Hospital were brought up by patients and the management. They felt that the quality of service being provided by the contractor was not up to desired quality standards. In view of this, ACEC had two concerns: not to de-motivate the contractor; and not to compromise on the quality of service being provided by the contractor.

Acute Admissions

Studies demonstrate 67% of elderly patients can have dermatoses, which could result in functional and psychological consequences. Elderly presentations are further complicated by comorbidities and polypharmacy. This combined with limited dermatology training at undergraduate and postgraduate levels creates diagnostic challenges. This project investigated dermatology assessments by trainees using the Trust’s acute medical admissions proforma. 100 proforma were reviewed for skin assessments alongside nursing skin care bundles. Subsequently, a skin survey was conducted amongst trainees evaluating knowledge and confidence when diagnosing and managing common dermatoses. Successively, a dermatology teaching series was delivered. Post-intervention the above were reassessed, demonstrating improvements in most areas. The dermatology teaching series will continue alongside a Trust hospital guideline to sustain improvements in dermatological care on admission.

Patients should be at the heart of everything we do. The aim should always be to achieve healthcare outcomes by involving patients fully in their own care, with decisions made in partnership with clinicians, rather than by clinicians alone: ‘no decision about me, without me’ (DH 2012). This article details a plan of care for an 18 year old male patient with a moderate level of learning disability who was scheduled for a tonsillectomy at a local NHS trust hospital. It focuses on the management of the patient’s anxiety, nausea and pain. In accordance with the Health and Care Professions Council’s code of confidentiality (HCPC 2014) the location and individual names of places and people concerned will not be disclosed. The patient presented at the pre-assessment appointment as having a learning disability consistent with a diagnosis of being on the autistic spectrum. More specifically, he had cognitive impairment which affected his ability to understand complex information. This, combined with a reduced ability to cope independently, formed the rationale for the attendance of a carer throughout his perioperative journey. According to the National Autistic Society (NAS) there are approximately 700,000 people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the UK ie more than 1 in 100. Autism is a part of daily life for 2.8 million people (NAS nd).
