Wards moving at Southport Hospital
SOUTHPORT and Formby District General
Hospital began the move of 3 Wards within the Town Lane building. The moves bring acute, medical and surgical
care wards into one place. Each ward will keep its telephone numbers from their
original locations. The 3 Wards moving will be:-
► The Stroke Ward 10b is moving to Ward 15b.
►
Surgical Ward 15b moves to Ward 11a.
►
Surgical Ward 11a moves to Ward 10b and becomes the Surgical Assessment Unit.
The moves are part of the Trust's ₤250,000 "Safe at all Times" project
which aims to make the best use possible of buildings and staff. The work, at
Southport, also includes creation of a clinical communications hub which will
support bed management and give oversight of activity across the Hospital to
underpin safe care.
Therese Patten, Chief Operating Officer, said:- "Having patients in the
right place at the right time is a key factor in giving them the best possible
experience while in our care. I want to thank all the staff who have worked so
hard to make these changes happen as well as patients and their families for
their patience this week."
