The new NHS kit bag launched in December by the NHS North West London Critical Care Network has been shortlisted for a prestigious HSJ Patient Safety Award. The Patient Transfer Bag will be presented to a panel of judges in April, and the winners will be announced at a special ceremony on July 4.
The kit was designed with full input from doctors and nurses who work on the front lines in critical care and emergency departments. It has now been rolled out successfully across every North West London Hospital. It has also now been adopted by some trusts beyond. A full list of hospital trusts using the bag is below.
It has been calculated that the bag saves clinicians around eight hours a week – that’s one whole clinicians shift.
