Sheffield Teaching Hospitals are looking at how they provide care on a ward to patients who need a member of staff to stay with them most or all of the time because they:
• Are experiencing temporary distress or increased vulnerability.
• Are at risk of harming themselves or others.
• Have complex physical and emotional health needs that require closer supervision.
This is known as enhanced care but is also referred to as specialling, specialised care or one-to-ones.
They would like your input to help shape future care and would like to understand:-
• What it feels like for an inpatient receiving Enhanced Care ?
• What they could do to improve the provision of Enhanced Care?
• If staff engaged with the patient or their relatives/carers?
- Whether any activities were used to support the patient?
If you or a friend/relative have received Enhanced Care at STH, and would like to give any feedback please email sth.engagement@nhs.net or take their online survey.
