Patient and Family-centred Care programme participants 2012-13

The Patient and Family-centred Care programme is delighted to announce the successful teams who will be taking part in 2012/13.

The programme is breaking new ground in improving the experience of hospital care for patients and their families, and the working lives of staff. Each year we seek to develop a small number of exemplary NHS provider organisations and a team of professional staff and managers who can demonstrate their achievements to others, and bring sustainable improvement in patients' experience.

Teams from the following organisations have been selected to participate in the 2012 programme:

  • Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
  • Aneurin Bevan Health Board
  • Barnsley Hospital HNS Foundation Trust
  • Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust
  • Hywel Dda Local Health Board
  • Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust
  • North Devon Healthcare NHS Trust
  • University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust
  • Royal United Hospital, Bath, NHS Trust
  • Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust
  • West Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust

The teams were chosen following an extensive application process and will benefit from expert coaching and mentoring as well as leadership development and on-site support. Teams will also be able to attend a series of learning events and rapid improvement days.

The Patient and Family-centred Care programme is run as a partnership between The King’s Fund Point of Care programme and the Health Foundation.
