WOW - it's not just a tidy up!

The first of the foundation modules was launched on April 18th with the two Well Organised Ward (WOW) teams and their Nurse Unit Managers (NUMs)attending a planning day.
The teams conducted an assessment of their wards and prioritised the areas that required wowing first. They began by examining all of the ward storage and utility areas, taking photos as they went. The NUMs went with the team from the other ward to give a fresh perspective for the assessment.
Some problem areas were discovered on both wards and the teams were able to identify an are on each ward that was a priority. General Ward chose their equipment storage area and Rose Baker Wing chose their pan room.

Both areas chosen as the WOW pilot rooms were overcrowded and untidy on the assessment days.
Both teams couldn't wait to get started with the WOW process.
