| Stroke Survivors - Our stories, in our words
The EHSSB Stroke Patient and Carer Reference Group have compiled a Report in conjunction with the Stroke Strategy Implementation Project who are working in partnership with the EHSSB and NI Chest, Heart & Stroke to develop services for stroke survivors and their carers. A group of stroke survivors and their carers have come together to write and make public a report on their personal experience of the stroke care they received and to make recommendations on how services could be improved.

Seeing Our Patients Sooner
The EHSSB produced the Seeing Our Patients Sooner document in January 2007. This document should be available for patients in GP practices. The document outlines a new scheme which makes it easier to see the doctor and other staff who provide patient care. The purpose of the scheme is to help patients see a doctor, nurse or other member of staff more quickly when requesting an appointment.

Best Practice
Review of Patient Public Involvement
In November 2006 the EHSSC commissioned this “Best Practice Review
of Patient Public Involvement” – with the sub-title “I
organised a meeting and nobody came”. The focus for the research
was on finding examples of innovative and creative PPI, to scan Northern
Ireland and beyond for a variety of real and meaningful examples of engagement.

Patient Self Referral to Health and Social Services
in North Down and Ards
The EHSSC commissioned this piece of work to obtain direct patient feedback
on the choices that they make when deciding which type of service to go
to when they have an immediate healthcare need, for example, following
a minor injury. This work may suggest strategies for future engagement
and communication, particularly in light of planned significant investment
in the further development of community based facilities and services
designed to take pressure off the acute hospital sites.

Report
on NI Bugwatch Pilot
The
NI Bugwatch pilot was developed by the four Health and Social Services
Councils to support the Councils' lay visiting activity in relation to
Healthcare Associated Infection (HCAI) and to promote patient/public input
into the NI strategy. NI Bugwatch was based on a model developed by the
Commission for Public and Patient Involvement in Health in England (CPPIH).
It provides a simple tick-box checklist in relation to hospital hygiene
that
allows lay visiting teams to carry out the survey.
The NI Bugwatch
surveys were carried out in 8 hospitals
- Altnagelvin Hospital
- Antrim Hospital
- Belfast City Hospital
- Causeway Hospital
- Craigavon Area Hospital
- Daisy Hill Hospital
- Royal Group of Hospitals
- Mater Hospital
during 'Bugwatch
Week' 19-23 September 2005, and the report was published in November 2005.
