Quality clear at Royal Oldham
Date published: 18 February 2010
THE Royal Oldham Hospital has been given the thumbs up for the quality of its public and patient information.
Pennine Acute Trust, which runs the hospital, has been officially certified as a quality provider of health and social care information by the Department of Health’s Information Standard.
It is one of the first NHS organisations in the country to receive the award, which recognises that patient information leaflets contain accurate information and are clear to understand.
The trust has around 600 patient leaflets which cover everything from operations and investigations to services and medical conditions.
Comments
As long as the leaflets are there that makes it allright.
Dont get me wrong but there are some very careing people at the R.O.H.who have to do the best they can for the patients with limited resources.But then again there are people there at the so called top who dont deserve a place in this world let alone a job.
Have Your Say
Brilliant article, I missed it first time. The Quality relates to public INFORMATION and not public CARE. So people could be dying left right and centre but at least they are well informed.
