In this newsletter you can read about the latest progress on the Children’s Assessment Service at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. Learning from the first year of operation, the weekend service is now fully integrated with A&E/UCC with a Children’s Doctor on duty in the Accident & Emergency Department at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) from 12noon until 10pm on Saturdays and Sundays. The Doctor provides a Children’s Assessment Service, supporting A&E clinicians to assess and treat children who attend the department.
This replaces the previous weekend service where children were referred to a separate Children’s Assessment Unit (CAU) in a different part of the hospital. As Director of Nursing and Quality, Sarah Bloomfield, says in the newsletter: “We’ve learnt so much from the first year of the Children’s Assessment Service at RSH. The needs are very different at the weekend from weekdays so it makes sense to provide the full service from within the A&E department and Urgent Care Centre. This is more convenient for children and their families, so that they don’t need to be referred to a different part of the hospital.” You can find more details on page 3. www.sath.nhs.uk
