FDR continues at City Hospital

February 12, 2019

Following in the footsteps of a successful day one of full dress rehearsal, today saw colleagues dressed in green descend on City Hospital to continue the work putting Unity through its paces. A big thank you to everyone who has worked hard to support the rehearsal this week as we continue on our journey to Unity.

Katie Gray, Deputy Chief Operating Officer said, “There is lots of learning coming out of today and by the time day two of FDR finishes tonight at 8pm, we expect we’ll have lots of learning points to take forward.

“The full dress rehearsal today has gone remarkably well as we have taken the lessons that we learnt yesterday and put many of them into operation today. The local hubs and local area leads have worked hard today to support all of the areas that are taking part and have made sure that any issues that have been identified, have been dealt with quickly and effectively to ensure there is no adverse impact on patient care.“

Feedback from doctors has been positive. Alex Hollis FY2 said, “It’s been a really useful experience today both as part of the FDR process, getting us more confident with prescribing, and getting us ready for when the system comes in.”
