TRUST ACTIONS
Following May Trust Board meeting the Senior Leadership Team has
met with other Trusts, Department of Health, Northern Ireland
Ambulance Service and the Northern Ireland Medical and Dental
Training Agency.
We now have a regionally agreed interim plan, developed with the
support of our medical team which we have shared with all staff. Our
initial focus aims to stabilise staffing for the summer months in
anticipation of a more permanent solution
We have started to have conversations with staff on what the options
are and what changes might be implemented.
A Chief Operating Officer has been appointed for the Daisy Hill Hospital
site.
There has been communication with both QUB and UU medical
schools at high level to update them on the issues.
We have engaged Nuffield Trust to review acute medicine locally
across our hospitals and using their recommendations to address the
challenges, to support the development of services into the future.
