Championing patient care with our patient transfer groups

July 29, 2024

Teams across SWB are working incredibly hard as we continue to Get Set for Midland Met. This week, we shine a spotlight on our patient transfer groups.   

Following a recent patient transfer meeting, some engaging discussions took place that helped colleagues uncover crucial learnings centered around the needs of our patients during the move process.   

As we Get Set for Midland Met, teams continue to work hard in their patient transfer groups. Joined by Joe Harnett from HCR, teams engaged in a Sandwell patient transfer group. An overview of our successful June mock move week provided some engaging discussions that helped colleagues focus on crucial learnings centered around the needs of our patients during the move process.     

The timings for the patient journeys tested at Sandwell were well executed. Senior Commissioning Manager, Paul Hazle, commented: “We had some good experiences – it gave us a chance to test the roles and resources required and to pick up on any issues.” 

If invited to attend the next patient transfer group for City, please attend. Your input is crucial to help us further develop our move planning.
