This is a timed, planned intervention that sets out to address fundamental elements of nursing care by means of a regular bedside ward round. This study, published by Health Services and Delivery Research, aimed to examine what it is about intentional rounding in hospital wards that works, for whom and in what circumstances.

Behind the bureaucracy and posturing, the lies and denials, it discovers a humanity and a richly facetted suffering by many others.

Content ArticleOrganisations should make sure people know the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) is the final stage for complaints that haven’t been resolved through the organisation’s own complaints process. This applies to small NHS organisations like GP and dental practices as well as larger ones like hospitals or government departments. It’s important that people complain to the provider organisation first and give them a chance to respond to their concerns, before they come to the PHSO. But if someone isn’t happy with how the provider organisation has answered their complaint, they need to know they have a right to come to the PHSO with it. Here are some tips to help providers make sure people know when and how to use the PHSO service.

Content ArticleVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a condition in which a thrombus – a blood clot – forms in a vein. Usually, this occurs in the deep veins of the legs and pelvis and is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The thrombus or its part can break off, travel in the blood system and eventually block an artery in the lung. This is known as a pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE is a collective term for both DVT and PE. With an estimated incidence rate of 1-2 per 1,000 of the population, VTE is a significant cause of mortality and disability in England with thousands of deaths directly attributed to it each year. One in twenty people will have VTE during their lifetime and more than half of those events are associated with prior hospitalisation. At least two thirds of cases of hospital-associated thrombosis are preventable through VTE risk assessment and the administration of appropriate thromboprophylaxis.
