The event, to take place on Friday 11 May at Bassetlaw Hospital, will be hosted by Suzy Brain England OBE, Chair of the Board, and will feature a presentation on developments within the Emergency Department at Bassetlaw Hospital, detailing a recent refurbishment which has taken place.
There will also be information available about the launch of Smart-ER at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. A new and innovative computer system, Smart-ER asks patients to take a few minutes while in the waiting room of the Emergency Department to complete a short, digital form describing their ailment or injury as well as providing general health details.
It is hoped that by implementing this new system, it will improve communication within the urgent service, aiding clinicians in their consultations and treatment and making more productive use of a patient’s waiting time, with the aim of reducing overall time spent within the department.
Suzy Brain England OBE, Chair of the Board at the Trust, said: “I want to encourage our members to attend this event. There are some very exciting developments within emergency care at the Trust and this will be a fantastic opportunity to share what we have planned and how we intend to improve urgent services for the people of Doncaster, Bassetlaw and beyond.”
