Moving day roles

November 8, 2024

Ahead of Sunday’s move, we’re informing colleagues of crucial roles and responsibilities that come with these.

The Global Sender and Global Receiver – teamed up with the HCR sender and receiver. Help control the speed and sequence of the move and keep control hub updated as each ward transfers.

The Unit Sender and Unit Receiver – responsible for patient-related decisions. The sender supports patients and staff for the transfer. The receiver assists staff in getting patients settled into the new ward.

The Nurse Escort – escorts the patient, their essential belongings, and paperwork throughout the duration of the transfer. Responsible for patient care until they give a report to the nurse at the patient’s new ward. Will operate in a loop, and conduct multiple transfers throughout the day, returning to the existing site marshalling station each time.

Transport work in teams of two – deployed by HCR from the Marshalling Station to for portering of patients in bed from their ward to the ‘Bed Transfer Station’ near the Main Entrance. Following this, the team returns to the Marshalling Station.

The EMRT – dedicated to the patient transfer sequence and strategically placed on the 5th level of MMUH to ensure immediate reaction if called upon.

Registration will be positioned near the appropriate bed lifts and registration staff will assign each patient into their new bed space in Unity prior to their arrival on the wards.

Important

As expected, both City and Midland Met will be extremely busy on move day.

Whilst we understand that it is an exciting time and staff will want to help and be involved, the more people on site, the harder the task will become. Therefore, unless working clinically or involved in one of the specific move roles, we ask that you don’t come to site.

Those needed on move day need to be fresh and well rested for the days following the move, as we settle.

If individuals do not have a role, HCR will ask them to leave.
