New hospital - taking the lead Following an outstanding response from clinicians and operational leaders from across PAHT, the new workstream leads are now in place. These roles are critical to the successful completion of the outline business case for the new hospital with a strong focus on models of care at the forefront.
Garry Court – nursing lead, cancer and diagnostics workstream
June Barnard - nursing lead, elective workstream
The workstream leads are now working at pace to make sure that everyone who will be delivering the care are involved and hosting a number of virtual workshops. The team share with us a brief insight into their inspiration and reasons for getting involved and their ambitions for providing outstanding care in a new hospital.
It is really important that there is a clinical nursing voice within each of the work streams to act as patient advocate when designing the fabric of the building to ensure ease of access, and to ensure that the practicalities of delivering nursing care, changes in treatment pathways, and how patient flows will work in the future are both safe and effective.
First and foremost is my desire to deliver outstanding services and care provision to all who use the services of the trust. This is my local hospital, I have both a personal and professional vested interest in it. The opportunity to be part of a team building a new hospital with new pathways and ways of working is potentially once in a career and very exciting.
Dr Sri Redla - medical lead, cancer and diagnostics workstream
Mr Dennis Kosuge – medical lead, elective workstream
This is an exciting, once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of the team designing our new hospital for our staff and our patients. We should ALL actively engage in this process…to come up with an innovative, one of a kind, future-proof healthcare facility in line with the NHS Long Term Plan.
The new hospital programme is the perfect opportunity to introduce major changes…all this can have a big impact on improving the quality of care, patient experience, productivity and efficiency for PAHT and our patients. As such, it is so vital that these important decisions are made by well-qualified teams, representative of the whole of PAHT. I would like to be part of that legacy.
Dr Monica Bose – medical lead, discharge workstream Having worked at PAHT both as a junior doctor and for six years now as a consultant, I am really excited to be involved in this key piece of work to ensure that we have a new hospital within a new healthcare system for the patients of West Essex and East and North Herts that fits their needs, not just for 2025 but for 2075 too.
