BrisDoc in Kampala Uganda

BrisDoc in Kampala Uganda

The Wellspring Community Project is a charity that was set up to help develop essential local services and so far it has built schools, various micro-finance projects, a church, as well as a primary care facility which over time has become too small to cope with the demand of the fast growing population, and needed to be re-built.

Get the Right Care First Time

Get the Right Care First Time

NHS patients in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire are being urged to get the ‘Right Care, First Time’ as part of a new information campaign.

The campaign aims to tackle the high numbers of people attending A&E with minor injuries or illnesses which could be treated more quickly and easily via an alternative provider such as a GP or minor injuries unit.

Almost 230,000 people in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire attended the area’s main A&E units during 2015/16, including the Bristol Royal Infirmary, Southmead Hospital and Weston General Hospital. Of these, one in four (nearly 58,000) were not admitted and received guidance or advice only that could have been delivered via an alternative service.

A survey was undertaken by Audit South West for Urgent Health UK (UHUK), the Out of Hours member organisation, with staff from all organisation members encouraged to take part. Across 14 questions the survey sought the views of staff about BrisDoc’s culture with respect to patient safety. Our overall score was an impressive 81 compared to the survey average score of 78, the higher the score the more positive staff felt.
