Trust news

The Tissue Viability Nurses are arranging two further sessions on how to implement PURPOSE-T (Pressure Ulcer Risk Primary or Secondary Evaluation Tool), which is available to all staff across the Trust. Tissue Viability Nurses will be discussing the changes and the roll out of the new pressure ulcer categories which involve the removal of the term ‘Deep Tissue Injury’ (DTI) and  ‘unstageable pressure ulcer’.

It’s fantastic that we have already achieved last year’s final Staff Survey response rate of 39% - thank you to everyone who has completed so far! We still have time to make sure our results are reflective of everyone as the Survey remains open until 5pm on Friday, 29 November.

Congratulations to our newest hospital, Aspen Wood, which has won another prize.

Our OTs in Ashworth Hospital held a successful awareness day to mark national Occupational Therapy Week.
