Hospital plan on display
Published Date: 14 October 2009
By Staff Copy
THE detailed designs for Beverley's new community hospital will be on show to local residents at a series of public events starting next week.
The plans will give local residents an opportunity to study the proposals in more detail and comment on the design of the new hospital.
The move follows East Riding of Yorkshire Council's decision last month to grant outline planning permission for the £17.7million hospital earmarked for land on Swinemoor Lane.
The development will include the relocation of bed spaces from Driffield's Alfred Bean Hospital and Hornsea Hospital.
Health chiefs at NHS East Riding of Yorkshire are hoping to submit an application for approval of the detailed application in November.
Ahead of this, the detailed plans will be on view at a series of public drop-in events.
These will take place at Beverley Westwood Hospital (outpatients reception) on Tuesday October 13, from 3pm to 7pm; at the Tesco store in Beverley on Saturday October 17, from 10am to 2pm; and at Beverley Youth Centre on Burden Road, Beverley, on Friday October 23, from 3pm to 7pm
There will also be displays at hospitals and health centres throughout the East Riding from October 13.
The new hospital will include a 30-bed in-patient ward, minor injuries services and an enhanced range of therapy services.
Melanie Iredale, community services programme director, said: "The new hospital will provide an exceptional ranges of services for patients in a modern, attractive environment and we now welcome further public input on the detailed design stage.
"During the last series of public events in June a number of comments and suggestions were put forward which were taken into consideration when putting together the planning application."
If the detailed plans are approved, it is expected building work will start by spring next year, with the first patients using the hospital by autumn 2011.
The new hospital will replace outdated facilities at the existing Beverley Westwood Hospital, which will remain open until the new community hospital is fully operational.
The scheme was granted outline planning consent despite fears raised by some residents about increased traffic, a threat to wildlife and the risk of flooding.
The full article contains 365 words and appears in Driffield Post newspaper.
One is patialy closed in Bridlington, Alfed Bean to close beds in Driffield and a new hospital to open in Beverley- realy good planning eh?

Utter madness!! Will they downgrade and close wards there before it is 20 years old as they have in Brid??
Would it cost £17.7million to upgrade the "outdated facilities at Beverley Westwood" - I think not
Surely with the facilities at Castle Hill on their doorstep they don't need another hospital in Beverley.
Why are the people from Driffield, Hornsea and Bridlington always treated like poor relations and made to travel so far when they are ill??
What about the staff - I expect they will be "relocated" too? It will make their work that much more taxing having to travel for a extra half hour to and from work each day.
The overpaid "management" personnel are Lacking in common sense - only interested in empire building and trying to justify their extortionate wages; instead they should be providing what the "man in the street" wants. |

The PCTs have been graded recently based on a standard rationale made up by people that do that for a living and not the service users so I think we should do our own grading.
Scarborough Hospital- crap but not as crap as it was
Bridling ton Hospital- Excellent but now crapper due to Scarborough Hospital Tust or whatever they call themselves.
Alfed Bean - Excellent but due to be getting crapper
Beverly Westwood- Good but going down the pan
A/E services 24/7 in Driffield/Bridlington terrible and inadequate and will remain so.
Local Maternity and Coronary Care- seriously lacking and will remain so.
Castle Hill Hospital-Excellent
Hull Royal Infirmary- Excellent
Carbon Foot print related to Local Health Care high and getting higher. |

Community hospital first for TPP
19 Oct 2009
NHS East Riding of Yorkshire has become the first primary care trust in the country to implement TPP’s SystmOne Community Hospital module.
The PCT said the MacMillan Wolds Unit at Bridlington Hospital was the first community hospital unit to go live followed by community wards in Driffield, Beverley, Hornsea and Withernsea.
The PCT said the SystmOne software supports clinical and administrative work processes as well as patient management. Functionality includes monitoring and reporting of bed management, prescribing and clinical coding.
Using TPP SystmOne community-based staff and GPs can now access the same records from GP referral to inpatient and outpatient care and discharge into the community.
The PCT said the implementation was a ‘first of type’ and its informatics team worked with TPP to create the new module.
Less Rickles, head of the informatics service for NHS East Riding of Yorkshire, said the informatics team was involved at every stage of the project and were extremely pleased with the result.
He added: “The main drivers were to have a system that fulfils the national requirement for reporting for ICD Coding and to introduce functionality we currently don’t have such as bed management.
“It made sense to look into using SystmOne in the community hospital setting because our community-based nursing teams use SystmOne and any opportunity to have shared data across services benefits patient care.”
Nick Borrill, locality matron for Beverley and Holderness, added: “The system is being used by all grades of staff from the health care assistants inputting the patient’s vital signs, to the ward sister looking at overall bed management. Simplicity of the system has been the key to user involvement. We are very proud to be one of the first teams to use this in the community hospitals”
The PCT said the new system underpinned its ambitions to transform community services. The availability of a common shared records will help bring care closer to home.
The PCT’s informatics team is now working with TPP to develop the functionality of the care plans, prescribing and day hospital to further advance patient care all the community wards.

Well Fiona-I guess that if you are working this system it your article is meaningful but to the community that this system serves is gobbledegook |
