Bradford Teaching Hospitals’ innovative children and young person’s service is in line for a top award.
The Children and Young Persons’ Ambulatory Care Experience (ACE) project, based at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI), part of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, aims to bring care to young patients in the comfort of their own home and prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital.
Today (3 September), it was announced that the pioneering project has been shortlisted in the Health Service Journal (HSJ) Awards, which recognise excellence in healthcare.
Consultant Paediatrician and Lead for Children’s Ambulatory Care, Mathew Mathai said: “The ACE scheme delivers a more efficient service to our patients as it reduces emergency admissions and readmissions to our hospitals, empowers families to manage common medical problems better and enhances our collaborative working with our CCG and GP colleagues across the district.
“I’m really proud of the achievement of the ACE team over the last nine months. It has truly been a team effort and I have had the great privilege of working with an amazing team of nurses, doctors, educators, pharmacists, managers, clerical staff and commissioners that have all helped to drive this development forward.”
