Safety Thermometer

On one day each month we check to see how many of our patients suffered harm whilst in our care. We call this the safety thermometer. The safety thermometer looks at four harms, in particular: pressure ulcers, falls, blood clots and urine infections for those patients who have a urinary catheter in place. This helps us to understand where we need to make improvements. The score below shows the percentage of patients who did not experience any new harms.

96% of patients in August 2017 did not experience any of the four harms in this Trust.
