🌧️ The Met Office has issued an Amber warning for heavy rain leading to flooding in this area today.

Heavy downpours are already causing a lot of surface water on roads and rain is expected to continue today and into Saturday.

Please be careful out there and take more time for your journey if you need to travel.

Here are steps you can take to prepare yourself, your home and your family.
✅ Check your insurance cover for flooding and make a list of important contact numbers.
✅ Prepare a flood kit of essential items, e.g warm clothing and blankets, bottled water, battery powered radio, mobile phone, non-perishable food, medication.
✅ Know how to turn off gas, electricity and water supplies.
✅ Move important or sentimental items to safety and think about what else you would move to safety during a flood e.g. pets, furniture, electrical equipment, car.

Huge congratulations to Colorectal Clinical Nurse Specialist, Sue who was chosen as our October Star Award winner because of how she went above and beyond to create a beautiful moment for a patient and his loved ones.

Sue was key in organising a wedding at very short notice which took place on Baytree Ward at Hinchingbrooke Hospital. Sue spent time outside of her shift contacting numerous companies to ensure the couple had the most memorable experience.

Within 24 hours Sue had a photographer, flowers, decorations, and she also managed to get a local supermarket to donate a wedding cake. Her input was invaluable in ensuring one of the patient's final wishes was met.

There was not a dry eye on the ward and the work that Sue put in to ensure this happened went way beyond her role and meets the values of the Trust to their fullest.

What a fantastic example of a caring health professional at their best. Sue, you are a deserving award winner, thank you and well done! 💙

We want to say a huge well done to our October Star Award, Team of the Month.... Apple Tree Ward at Hinchingbrooke Hospital!

The team were picked for the award because of the improvements they have made in a short period of time to jump from Foundation Ward Accreditation to achieve Silver Ward Accreditation!

Our Ward Accreditation scheme is a supportive quality improvement process that enables us to measure performance, provide assurance, and identify opportunities to continuously enhance patient care. It involves a comprehensive review of care delivery through: Data analysis, Observation on the ward or clinical unit, Audit of patient notes, Questions to patients and staff

These elements are combined to generate a rating for each ward or clinical unit.

The team were awarded their first Ward Accreditation in June when they achieved foundation, three months later they have gone on to achieve silver.

The team's nominator, Rachel has been delighted with the improvement, "It has been so wonderful as a Matron to support and watch the entire team under the leadership of Jola the Ward manger own the action plan and see the dedication of the whole team to achieve their united goals.

"The massive progress in such a short time period is something the whole team should be immensely proud of. The team's drive, commitment and team work to improve the quality of care for our patients, staff and families has been outstanding."

Well done Apple Tree Ward for being October's Star Award, Team of the Month!

Here's a wheel-y good idea from our Volunteer Service at Peterborough City Hospital to provide an additional resource for the department and further enhance the experience for patients requiring an interpreter.
'Kez' - an Interpreter on Wheels - will be used to assist with any conversational challenges including helping a patient to find the way to a particular department, booking a taxi or making a telephone call to a loved one.
