AN innovative idea which helped to save the lives of coronavirus patients has seen Warrington and Halton Hospitals shortlisted for another prestigious award. The black box is a simple medical device that was transformed into a life-saving therapy for some of the most seriously ill patients with Covid-19 in the spring of 2020. Aware of the expected national shortage of ventilators, a team of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals across Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WHH) made a brilliant discovery. It involved modifying simple continuous positive airway pressure black boxes, which are regularly used as therapy for significant breathing problems and low oxygen, as well as to treat patients with chronic sleep apnoea.
PHYSIOTHERAPISTS at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) have been shortlisted for a major award in recognition of their life-saving work with Covid-19 patients. The team used CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) therapy to treat hundreds of patients on the Covid wards at the BRI, reducing the need for people to be intubated. In recognition of their work, the physiotherapists have been nominated in the prestigious Health Service Journal (HSJ) Value Awards 2021. Their project ‘Utilisation of CPAP by Physiotherapists’ has been shortlisted in the Post-Covid Sustainable Transformation Award category. Dr Tom Lawton, an Intensive Care Consultant (ICU) and Anaesthetist at the Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, nominated the team for the award.
The CQC confirmed this month that John Adler, former chief exec, and Paul Traynor, former CFO, could not be referred as they no longer worked for a registered healthcare provider.
This raises a few questions – why did NHS England refer the two directors if it couldn’t go anywhere?
And is this yet another example of how the fit and proper persons referral process is not… fit for purpose?
In his expert review of the FPP, Tom Kark QC said the FPPT does not stop “the unfit or misbehaved from moving around the system”.
The Kark review also recommended creating a new body, the Health Directors’ Standards Council, with the power to investigate complaints of misconduct by senior directors and bar them from sitting on NHS boards.
