Hospital at Night and 24/7

Skills for Health sponsored pilots for Taking Care 24:7, that looked at new ways of working for healthcare services over the full 24 hour day. These services built on the successful Hospital at Night approach and achieved improvements in the quality of patient care and productivity. For example, Guy’s and St Thomas’ 24:7 solution won a 2009 Healthcare People Management Award, whilst Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has achieved international recognition with audiences ranging from the Netherlands to the Hong Kong Health Services.
