Derby Teaching Hospitals FT: Future Proofing Derby’s Emergency Department Workforce

The judges said: “This project demonstrated excellent leadership and the desire the team demonstrated to share this nationally was impressive.”

Better value healthcare means investing in and training staff and, to this end, Derby Hospital FT has created a workforce model which enables emergency department clinical staff to have the necessary training and to pursue clear career paths.

Throughout the winter of 2012-13 Derby Teaching Hospitals found that it was consistently missing its four hour accident and emergency target. Changes had to be made and the trust’s clinicians set out to redesign its accident and emergency workforce model.

Solutions created by staff include: providing attractive career pathways, offering emergency medicine SAS doctors tailor made rotations and the introduction of advanced clinical practitioner (ACP) roles.

Tailor made SAS rotations allow doctors to obtain additional skills in an A&E environment and also facilitates them in the application of Certificate of Eligibility of Registration. SAS doctors are also offered secondments in relevant specialties in order to gain related competencies.

These changes have enabled the A&E to recruit a high number of middle grade doctors, leading to an increase in recruitment in whole time equivalent staff from 4.8 to 21 over the past 12 months.

As a result of this project, not only has the trust increased its workforce but improved its A&E performance meeting the four hour target in every quarter of 2014-15. The trust has also seen a reduction in night time breaches due to increased senior staffing.
