Statement from Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
We recently commissioned the Advancing Quality Alliance to carry out an independent review of our mortality rates which involved interviews with clinicians and managers and a detailed review of our mortality data and patient case notes. The report concluded there was no cause for clinical concern about patient care however we welcome any further assurance this latest review can give to our Trust, patients and the public.
– Dr Mark O’Donnell, Medical Director of Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust“In the past 12 months a significant amount of work has taken place across the Trust including the setting up of a Mortality Board made up of clinicians to drive forward improvements.
