ECS in Action Stafford Hospital Breast Care Multi Disciplinary Team In September, we initiated a consultation in response to press reports into Stafford Hospital’s Breast Care Services. Some 48 patients shared their views with us. A report was produced and presented to Stafford Hospital. It was positively received and used to inform the Hospital’s Action Plan. The Trust Chief Executive has asked for a repeat of the exercise in summer 2013 to test effectiveness of improvement plan. Burton A&E Survey East Staffordshire CCG commissioned ECS to conduct a survey of walk-in, self-referral patients at Burton A&E to identify why they are using A&E, whether they considered alternatives, and whether they experienced difficulty accessing primary care.

Findings are being used by the CCG and Hospital to plan improvements.
