in touch with this
website.
Do
you have details of another
report in the public domain about
falls at Forth Valley Royal
Hospital?
If
so, please get in touch and it
can be added to the website.
email: info@fallsinhospital.com
You
are also welcome to contact this
website about anything else, such
as:
- if
you are a patient with
experience of falls care
prevention issues
- if
you are a concerned
relative
- or
if you have any questions
about the website and its
content.
The
purpose of this website is to
collect and publish links to all
public domain reports, articles
and other documents that relate
to falls after failures of care
at Forth Valley Royal
Hospital.
- If
you are a senior nurse or
manager from NHS Forth Valley
and want to give details of
training that nurses receive,
how this is assessed, how
nurses are supported...and why
falls
have taken place after
repeated failings of
care
then you are also welcome to
make contact.
- This
website is happy to report NHS
Forth Valley's falls care
training protocols, practices
and assessment of nurses'
competence: but the question
that follows is why then have
failures of falls prevention
and post falls nursing care
gone on to occur so often and
so regularly in the relatively
short life of Forth Valley
Royal Hospital?
The
aim of this website is to gather
verified information that will
help enable change to create a
safer environment for patients at
risk of falls who are cared for
at Forth Valley Royal Hospital.
It
is also to encourage appropriate
training and working practices
that mean failures of falls
related nursing care no longer
take place at Forth Valley Royal
Hospital.
Such
failures are - in terms of
reports of complaints upheld by
the Scottish Public Services
Ombudsman - much higher than most
other Scottish
hospitals.
