Quality

The Team

The Quality and Patient Safety Team works across Redditch and Bromsgrove CCG and Wyre Forest CCG to ensure that safe, effective and high quality health services are commissioned and delivered for our local populations. Quality is at the heart of each of the CCG’s values and we make it a priority to maintain a focus on high quality care and patient outcomes. The team aim to promote a culture of openness and transparency where identified concerns or incidents are learnt from and where a culture of service improvement is influenced across the health and social care community. The team place the needs of local people at the centre of all that it does and works hard to ensure that we learn from patients and public experiences of care.

Jo Galloway is Chief Nursing Officer for the CCG.

'Bring together local people, GPs and other clinical professionals to improve the quality and experience for patients of their health care’

Pressure Ulcers

The three Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Groups (NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove, NHS South Worcestershire and NHS Wyre Forest) are working alongside Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, Worcestershire County Council and Your Turn on this campaign to raise awareness and knowledge of pressure ulcers.

The ‘React to Red Skin’ campaign launched across the county on Thursday 17 November, which is International Stop the Pressure Day and is aimed at educating staff, patients and public about the signs and symptoms of pressure ulcers.
