We’re now the 7th best performing in the country for A&E waiting times – rising almost 100 places in just two years!  That means we are now treating more patients arriving in A&E more quickly, more of the time. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/yTEc5QiBTT

Your obsession with doing what's best for patients was palpable. The thoughtfulness and hard work you had put into your hospital at home program, for safe discharge of your patients and now even for the frail people in your community, is remarkable. Thank you for inspiring me!
