The latest Line Manager briefing: Key information you should know

July 29, 2024

In case you missed the Get Set For Midland Met: Line manager briefing from last week, please see video below to watch back the session.

Last week, we had our latest line manager briefing which identified several items to be aware of and what is necessary to work on before moving into Midland Met, in October.

As you may know, our operational readiness was 46.6%, against a target of 49.9%. Moving forward, there are some key things that we need to focus on that must be delivered before the end of July.

Things to focus on:

  • Continue to finalise job plans and consultant rotas for Midland Met and upload them onto E-Allocate
  • Continue to work with IT to validate devices – this is to ensure that the equipment you are issued with, based on what you have in your current location, is correct. If you need any assistance, please contact Imran Ravat (i.ravat@nhs.net) or Zurvad Hussain (zurvad.hussain@nhs.net)
  • Unity ward build confirmations to be sent to business change managers with any changes or updates
  • Check any patient leaflets that might need amending due to service changes – you need to speak to the library services about amends that need to be made

Other recent progress:

  • IPC checks completed
  • The beds have been delivered to MMUH
  • Learning Campus agreement signed with Sandwell Council

Key dates for your diary:

  • 25 July – Group reviews – Stocktake on Operational Readiness took place
  • 1 August – Get Set for Midland Met execs walkabouts begin
  • 5 August – Automated Drugs Cabinets arrive at City Hospital
  • 6 August – Omnicell roll out starts on Sandwell wards

As we gear up to Get set for Midland Met, it is important to attend line manager briefings if you can. These take place bi-weekly and will involve our Directorate and Group leaders. The next meeting is on Monday 5 August, 12pm – 1pm. Click here to join the meeting.
