Health chiefs in the north east are today announcing that they are now suspending non-urgent patient transport services to hospitals and clinics and starting to postpone non-urgent planned operations and outpatient appointments to ensure the NHS is as prepared as possible for coronavirus.
A dedicated joint-replacement service at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton is getting patients home faster and reducing waiting times. In the past patients receiving hip and knee replacements often spent up to five days in a hospital bed after their procedure.
It is official – the clinical pharmacy team at The James Cook University Hospital and The Friarage are audit heroes. The team won the Audit Heroes Award for demonstrating how a whole team can participate in multiple clinical audits.
