June 9, 2016

A VITAL service improving the lives of Parkinson’s Disease sufferers has been shortlisted for a national award just nine months after opening its doors.

The Parkinson’s Advanced Symptoms Unit (PASU) , based at Redcar Primary Care Hospital, is in the running for the ‘Managing Long-Term Conditions’ prize at the Patient Safety Awards 2016.

The unit, a collaboration between South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Tees Esk and Wear Valleys (TEWV) NHS Foundation Trust, is the first of its kind in the UK.The service provides patients and their carers with reassuring and quick access to assessments by a range of specialists involved in the management of their illness and also offers home visits for patients with complications arising from their condition.

Dr Neil Archibald, project lead for PASU, said: “We are delighted to have the hard work of the PASU team recognised in this way. Since opening in September last year, we have seen improvements in quality of life for our patients, as well as a reduction in emergency admissions to the hospital and reduced length of stay for patients.”

The Patient Safety Awards recognise healthcare organisations that are “constantly innovating” and “overcoming challenges” to put patients’ needs first.

Winners will be announced on 5 July at Manchester Central, the first day of the Patient Safety Congress.

More than 800 people from across the NHS will gather for a night of recognition, rewarding and networking.
