Huge congratulations to Ali Eatwell from our Virtual Hospital Service who has received the Chief Nursing Officer Silver award for her work on virtual care.

Through exceptional clinical leadership, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to patient-centred care Ali has reduced preventable hospital admissions, and allowed patients to receive high-quality care safely at home.

She has successfully led and supported a team including nurses, doctors, pharmacy colleagues, physician associates, and administrative staff to set up this new model of care.

Colleagues describe Ali as dedicated, collaborative, compassionate. She has fundamentally reshaped virtual nursing care within the Trust, and set a benchmark for excellence and innovation in virtual care delivery across the NHS.

Well done Ali!

Patients have highlighted the high standards of care they received at Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust in the latest Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inpatient Survey.

The survey found that 87% of patients rated their overall experience of care as seven out of 10 or higher, while 94% said they were treated with dignity and respect during their stay.

Patients reported positive experiences of kindness, compassion, dignity and respect, while new survey questions highlighted the Trust's commitment to personalised care, including meeting patients' language, accessibility and dietary needs, with results above the national average.

Other areas of strength included improvements in waiting times for admission to wards, doctors involving patients in conversations about their care, and patients knowing who to contact if they had concerns after leaving hospital.

The survey also highlighted support for families and carers, with 81% of respondents saying their family members or carers were given the information they needed to continue caring for them at home.

Katie Prichard-Thomas, Chief Nursing Officer, said the results reflect the care, compassion and professionalism shown by staff every day, while adding that patient feedback continues to help the Trust identify opportunities to further improve patients' experience.
