Making Waves October 07 - James Paget University Hospitals

CSCA Bus
Many staff will have met members
of our iPM PAS and iCM Order
Comms project teams and our
supplier, CSCA, around the Trust, or
during the recent demonstrations on the CSCA Bus. The bus
visited JPUH for three days early in July and was a huge success.
Over 200 clinical and non-clinical staff came aboard to see
demonstrations of iPM PAS and iCM Order Comms. The
response was amazing! Over 90% of attendees rated the
demonstrations average to highly informative and around 80%
rated them average to highly relevant to their specific area.
We had a huge demand for the demonstrations with all 22
sessions being filled within 24 hours of our email, poster and
canteen invitations being sent out!
But don’t worry if you missed the bus, we are planning
another visit in October. Watch out for posters, flyers and
emails with more news.

Little Leah benefits from
charity donation
Four year old Leah Sage from Hemsby, Great Yarmouth,
was born with a congenital heart condition and has
had two major heart operations in her very short life.
She needs to have her blood checked regularly and
until very recently, had to visit the hospital frequently
for blood tests. This has all changed now with the
donation of a Coaguchek XS device by the Charity
organisation 'Anticoagulation Europe', worth £400.
This device will mean that this can be done at home,
saving her the distressing regular visit to the hospital.
Sarah Simpson, Anticoagulation Nurse Specialist said:
‘It’s just like a home diabetes testing kit with a small
skin prick. It will be so much better for Leah and her
family and we are delighted that this has been sorted
out for them through the generosity of this charity.’
Royal
thanks for
Godfrey
and Vera
Godfrey and Vera
Ringwood of
Gorleston have been
fundraising for the
Trust for 27 years. In
that time they’ve
raised an amazing
£60,000! This has been
used to buy kit for the
children’s ward, ICU and A&E to name but a few. In
July, they attended one of the Queen’s Royal Garden
parties at Buckingham Palace and had a really special
day. Vera said: ‘We had the opportunity to walk around
the various royal gardens, saw the lake and had a
delicious tea. There were over 3,000 people there from
all walks of life. We felt honoured to be present and it
was a day that we will never forget.’
Godfrey added: ‘We’d like to thank everyone whose
helped us over the years by giving us gifts to sell on
stalls. We could not have raised this money without
your support.’
