How things are now
• An increasing demand on inpatient beds at New Cross
• Continuing uncertainty for patients arising from:• Delays in admission from the Emergency Department • Moves between wards• Delays in discharge• Cancellation of operations• Delays in having your operation, once you’re admitted• And, sometimes we don’t get it right leading to poor care and experience
• An opportunity to change how services are delivered when RWT acquires Cannock Chase Hospital
How we developed proposals
• Senior doctors at RWT have led the process
• We have listened to patients either formally and informally
• We have looked at clinical models thatwork well in other parts of the countryand abroad

Creating the right environmentto deliver services
It is important to us that the clinical environment meets the same standards as that in the rest of RWT. As part of the transfer of services from MSFT, RWT has been able to get some funding from the Department of Health to refurbish and remodel the facilities at Cannock Chase Hospital including:
• Building a new Endoscopy Unit• Creating a Musculoskeletal Unit for rheumatology patients • Refurbishing the inpatient and day case Wards• Refurbishing the outpatient areas• Building some new theatres
What are the benefits?
• More certainty over the date of your procedure
• A better experience for all patients
• Improved quality of clinical services and health outcomes
• Keeping local services safe - a clinically and operationally sustainable service model
• Treatment in an improved environment
• More effective use of public resources
