Surgery lead for daycase I have worked alongside different groups and have managed to increase the general surgerydaycase rate at FGH. My contribution also includes increasing the variety of casemix offered as dasycases to involve more minimal invasive procedures ie. Lap. cholecystectomy, Lap. hernia and Incisional hernia repairs, HALO procedure, and other coloproctology which were not previously offered at FGH as day cases. Alongwith this I have also improved the quality of support service given to patients by leading the organisation of Post Op.Tel Fu service for Lap cholecystectomy patients, inturn helping increase daycase rates, gain best practice tariff for trust and also reduce readmission rates and increase patient satisfaction I have also set up a one stop minor operations service to be provided in outpatients dept. thereby relieving the pressure on main theatre list for GA cases, helping decrease waiting times for GA and minorops, increasing patient satisfaction for minor procedures. I am also surgical lead for Theatre Utilisation and Productivity workstream group and together we have improved theatre utilisation to 95% by successfully decreasing start and turnover times.

Domains If you are applying for levels 1-9 you can include additional information for Domain 3 OR Domain 4 OR Domain 5. Please provide additional information for one domain only. DOMAIN 1: DELIVERING A HIGH QUALITY SERVICE (see Guide) (Box limited to 1350 characters). CHKS reports for last 2 yesrs have consistently shown high vol of cases seen in outpatients and operated on with finished consultant episodes for each @ 1250 and 1500 respectively. My personal successful daycase rate has beeen 84% which is well over 75% aimed for by the NHS plan, with only 5% readmission rates and 0 % mortality and outpatients new to follow up ratio 1: 0.5 compared to 1 : 1.2 of peers. As day case lead at FGH I put in to place various improvements along the daycase pathway which has helped increase the whole General Surgery Unit's daycase performance figures to go up to @ 65% compared to before I started. I am now working with the cross bay group to improve daycase rates across sites. My day case Laparoscopic cholecystectomy rate is 50% compared to 16% national average and BADS target of 60%. The units peformance at FGH has also improved with successful day case Lap Chole rate at 35% which was 0% before I started. This has helped increase patient satisfaction and the trust benefiting in acquiring the best practice tarriff. Alongwith this I offer an increased variety of casemix than before within daycase at FGH eg. Lap hernias, open hernias under Local anaesthetic, HALO procedure for haemorrhoids and various proctology procedures. DOMAIN 2: DEVELOPING A HIGH QUALITY SERVICE (see Guide) (Box limited to 1350 characters) Day case surgery audit under my supervision at FGH in 2012 highlighted that majority of day case surgery performed in main theatres befor 2011 were minor procedures under local anaesthetic. I therefore developed an one stop minor ops service and a full patient pathway from GP referal to one stop minor operation ( Lumps and Bumps) within outpatients department at FGH. This is now fully functional and preliminary audit has shown 100% patient satisfaction with only single attendance for assessment and procedure. This has completely removed minor ops. from main theatres freeing up more space for GA cases in main theatres, and reducing waiting times for both Minor ops and GA cases. This audit had also shown daycase Laparoscopic colecystectomy rate to be 0 % at FGH. I therefore organised scheduling of op list by waiting list with consultants, standardised surgery and anaesthesia, implemented nurse led discharge, introduced and set up a post -op telephone FU for daycase Lap cholecystectomy patients by surgical care practioners and developed the questionaire and pathway for this. This has helped increase support and confidence among nursing staff and patients helping increase Lap. chole. daycase rates to overall 35% for the dept.this was also presented in the international conference for quality and safety organised by BMJ. 2

Overall these changes have shown improvement from 95% delayed starts to only 5% delayed start by oct 2013, KPI's for utilisation have improved to avg. more than 90% making considerable savings to the trust already. Further improvement process continues to increase productivity. As Daycase lead I have been actively involved in multiple multi disciplinary meetings with differnt staff groups bringing about cultural change in the thinking regarding daycase operations and therfore being able to instill confidence in staff and patients, reflected by improving our daycase surghery rates compared o peers. I have also been instrumental in starting the the departmental governance meeting in 2012 which I have chaired on multiple occassions and we have implemented cahnge in working pattern for FY1 with increase prescence on weekends, increasing support on weekends by availibility of radiographer for ultrasound over w/e., effective risk managementand root cause analysis of incidents.
