Quality Account

The Trust has published its Quality Account for 20010/11. This account outlines five priorities for improving the quality of care we provide to local patients, and progress made against these during the year.

The five priorities outlined in the Quality Account are:

To increase the number of registered paramedics who attend seriously injured or ill patients.
To reduce the number of patients transported to hospital by ambulance by utilising registered paramedics with specialist skills who can provide care closer to home or at home.
To improve the quality of patient care by linking the documented evidence of care delivered to the patient outcome.
To improve the effectiveness of the Trust's Infection Control Policy by improving the number of ambulances that are deep cleaned and are swab tested at our Make Ready depots.
To improve the experience of those patients who call SECAmb and are provided with an alternative care pathway, rather than being taken to hospital
