News in brief “How healthy is your hospital?” is the question posed by the recently launched 2007 Hospital Guide, compiled by Doctor Foster Intelligence. Among the findings is that some trusts do not have an antibiotic pharmacist in post — only 25 per cent of trusts in Wales have an antibiotic pharmacist, compared with 91 per cent of trusts in southern central England. Training events (sponsored by Baxter) aimed at those involved in implementing the recent National Patient Safety Agency alert on safer use of injectable medicines are to be held on 13 June (in London) and 25 June (in Harrogate). Attendance is free of charge. Further details are available by e-mailing: patient_safety_uk@baxter.com A summary of the first meeting of the National Patient Safety Forum (held on 14 February 2007) is available from the Department of Health website. Results from the Healthcare Commission’s latest (2006) annual NHS staff survey, taking into account the views of staff from 326 trusts, have been published. |
