'Colchester General Hospital could improve care by copying supermarkets'

8:10pm Friday 29th October 2010 in Health By Nina Morgan

New approach – Charlie Wood at the hospital New approach – Charlie Wood at the hospital

A COMMUNITY hospital should treat its patients the same way supermarkets treats customers, according to its managing director.

Charlie Wood said she did not want the £20million Braintree Community Hospital to resemble a general hospital.

Mrs Wood said she was concerned about the level of care and attention elderly patients received at Colchester General Hospital after her recent stay there.

She said staff at the community hospital, in Chadwick Drive, Braintree, which opened in April, were striving to create a warm and caring atmosphere, where staff treat every patient as if they were their own relative.

Mrs Wood, who has ten years experience in public and private healthcare, said if you ask where the sugar is in a supermarket, a member of staff will take you to the correct aisle.

She said if patients are unsure where they are, they should be escorted to areas of the hospital in the same way.

If patients have special dietary requirements, hospital staff should again go out of their way to deliver those, she added.

Mrs Wood was speaking at the first annual meeting of Friends of Braintree Hospital.

Talking about her experience at Colchester General Hospital, she said: “It wasn’t the most positive experience I have ever had.

“My care was handled very well, but I was saddened by the care provided to the elderly and particularly those elderly patients without supporting relatives who were on their own.

“I would like to think our hospital is going to be very different.

“It’s a local hospital for local people and we put the patients first.

“We try to treat everyone as an individual and we’re turning back to old fashioned values.

“Patients are called Mr and Mrs and then asked if they would like to be called by their Christian name.”

I find the Fiveways staff very friendly and helpful. They are not helped by their management policies or by their computer system, but they do their best.

My point exactly Boris ,I remember once being told that they didn't sell Shallots because there was no call for them ,(they do now).
When they do have a good range of products it gets discontinued never to be seen again.

Really? I find you spend ages looking for somebody, to eventually only find some spotty teenager whose vague hand gesture points you the wrong way with a 'think it's over there, somewhere.' You're then in an aisle surrounded by dog biscuits, but still clueless as to the location of the sugar. Whether it's Fiveways, Tescos, Sainsburys or Asda, I've experienced similar levels of customer service in them all.

Yes but, this story isn't about you Anna.
It's about improving care using a loosely based comment regarding the supermarket experience.
Improvements are always welcome.
I always find supermarket staff to be very helpful, maybe its the way you ask?
I would have thought, seeing as you know everything you would at least be able to find the sugar.
Well done Mrs Wood, you go for it girl!

Dear oh dear, ewok, get yourself a sense of humour. What this story is actually about is the corporate mentality ever creeping into all areas of life. We need an NHS run by doctors and nurses, people who know what they're doing, not 'management professionals'. They should stick to telling us where the sugar is in Tescos.

Mrs Wood is stated to have "ten years' experience in public and private healthcare". According to its website this new hospital is privately run by a company that appears to be Canadian. So it is no wonder that Mrs Wood attacks Colchester General Hospital, which still belongs to the NHS. Hers is simply one of thousands of voices all coming together to soften us up for the further dismemberment of our NHS, to the benefit of companies such as her employer.

Taj, now I understand your initial comment, and I agree with you. But the staff at both Fiveways stores (Peartree Rd and Abbots Rd) are very helpful, as are those at Asda, both Sainsbury's, both Aldi's, and Waitrose. (I have to go to these other places for goods not available, or overpriced, at the Co-op). I avoid Tesco but I understand from its fans that staff are helpful there too.
In any case, everyone knows that basics like sugar, bread and milk are always as far as possible from the door, to force you to pass all the other goods and, they hope, make some impulse purchases on your way.
Finally, Anna, I am appalled by your attack on teenagers. Why shouldn't some of them be spotty? Being a woman, when you were a teenager you probably didn't have spots, but plenty of boys are so afflicted, and that doesn't make them incompetent, ignorant or unhelpful as you suggest. Let's have a bit of respect for teenagers, please.

Boris! Lighten up, you're being nearly as bad as Ewok! The comment wasn't meant to be taken too seriously. Most supermarket staff, like most bus drivers, and most people generally, are polite, friendly and helpful. But when most of us go to work, we end up finding ourselves in trying situations with bosses making impossible demands (stress can't help with the acne). When we experience poor service, it's down to the management.

Anna, it occurs to me that, perversely, staff are most helpful to the public in exactly those shops where they appear to be most oppressed by their management. Asda, Aldi and Wilkinson spring to mind. But I don't know personally anyone who works in any of these, so it would be interesting to hear from someone who does.

Em, perhaps. Asda staff do always seem to stay with you until the product is found, though they often seem to have no idea where the product actually is. My mate works for Wilkos - he was over last night - so I'll ask him what he thinks the next time I see him. Still, I'd prefer to focus on what they're doing to our NHS. Trouble is, Woods' comments were so silly it was always inviting the not too serious responses, and I'm guilty as anybody else on that score.

Funny thing happened in the Prettygate Co-op this morning ,two mothers with young daughters looking like they were going out on a trip
went to the sandwich shelf and there wasn't any thing there so they asked the shop assistant if any were coming later, she said no, we don't have any and there isn't a delivery on Saturday,
Unperturbed the customers rushed round the shop to buy something else and when they arrived at the checkout one of the girls noticed the shop assistant filling the vacant shelf with sandwiches .
Please leave the hospital alone ,I don't want the Co-op experience in hospital with or without smiles

Why should those of us who work for a living support the inflated salaries and pensions of council workers who the country can no longer afford to subsidise.
Cut away I say. The deeper the better. In the private sector we have had it for years and I didn't see Boris and Anna Key whining when my friends were made redundant. Nor did my friends.

Gordon Bennett BillBill, don't presume to know what we are going to "moan" about.
This website did not exist when I was working, and my boss was made redundant, many of my colleagues were made redundant, and I had to duck and dive quite a bit to stay on the payroll myself.
I don't know who your friends were or what they (or you) were working at, if anything, but if you think they and you are among the few people ever to lose your jobs, you are mistaken.
I had been sacked five times earlier in my working life, and I made sure it would not happen a sixth time. Apart from 3 months, I spent my whole life in the private sector, so I know all about that.
Nobody on our side is whining, we are just doing what we can to oppose the idiot government that you support.
Come along to hear the voice of sweet reason, it might lighten you up a bit.

Clearly there are those who don't want to grasp what is being said here by BillBill.

I didn't read what BillBill said is an attack on the working population, or for that matter on those who cannot work, through genuine disablement.

It is more about the working population, in both public and private employment, who earn far less by going to work than the benefit scroungers, who are fully capable of working!

We are now in times where jobs are becoming more scarce and the public sector cannot continue as they have, and it is right they need to cut costs by pulling in the reins. Inevitably this will result in job losses, but it is only what the private sector has had to do for years. The private companies who have been successful in keeping costs down are still in business, those that couldn't have fallen by the wayside.

The current situation, by some blamed squarely on greedy bankers, is only true in part but it has quickly become a smoke screen for benefit scroungers and certain political groups to hide behind.

There are hundreds of thousands, who actually don't want to work and have successfully scrounged benefits for years now, long before the banking crisis. It is only now that this government is trying to balance out the unfairness of paying out these benefits to those who have not worked for years, and in some cases to those who have never worked in their life!

Irrespectively of anyone's political standpoint it just cannot be right for those who "work" and particularly for those on low income, who pay taxes, are financially worse off than those who don't, but could work.

If current plans to cut benefits becomes unpleasant for this work shy group then so be it!

As for Say It and Grin ch, it is clear that rents in city centres are often excessive and therefore the government should pay housing benefits up to the level of the cap, and should order the landlords to be content with that amount. If they then can't meet their mortgage payments then the government can order the banks to be content with what the landlords can afford. Simple really. And obviously tenants must be held responsible for damage that they do.

So let's have no more nonsensical talk about "scroungers". People who collect benefits and don't work are actually doing the country a favour, by freeing up jobs for those who need them.

A-nd GRIN CH, I'm not saying all landlord's are parasites, my landlord is excellent, he even has very similar politics to me! But so many of us can't afford mortgages, and if we're not renting, squatting is quite literally the only other alternative. Not a very secure alternative, which is why I much prefer having such a decent landlord.

No. When I was unemployed a couple of years back, and despite having a degree (which meant I could have signed on a year demanding £20K graduate employment only), those that didn't want to apply for the jobs I was applying for (such as minimum wage cleaning at Debenhams, my eventual realise from the appalling situation of unemployment) were quite clearly doing me a massive favour. I can't understand how people survive on benefits. But if people do, and are 'happy' with that, they are doing the rest of those unfortunate enough to be unemployed a huge favour.

Mathematics don't come anywhere near justifying paying benefits to those who have proven, over a long term, that they have no intention of even looking for work and it makes no sense at all .

I'm sure you are well aware these scroungers have played the system for far too long and these people are not the real "Working Class". How can they be?

You know GRIN,
that is exactly what most posters do,
when we read your childlike scrawlings, the same as I have done now for the last 3 years, and GRIN,
well not quite GRIN, but burst out laughing, laughing at the "strange minded" creature you call yourself GRIN.
And GRIN we indeed do.
Keep the child minded. playground taunts coming...
my countless logging of its seems to mount daily.
Thank you for being such a FOOL.
You make our days "sunny"

No. When I was unemployed a couple of years back, and despite having a degree (which meant I could have signed on a year demanding £20K graduate employment only), those that didn't want to apply for the jobs I was applying for (such as minimum wage cleaning at Debenhams, my eventual realise from the appalling situation of unemployment) were quite clearly doing me a massive favour. I can't understand how people survive on benefits. But if people do, and are 'happy' with that, they are doing the rest of those unfortunate enough to be unemployed a huge favour.
Anna Key: To suggest that people who are happy to exist on benefits are doing the rest of us a favour is laughable. Why should they be given a free ride whilst the rest of us work hard !?

Please leave the hospital alone ,I don't want the Co-op experience in hospital with or without smiles
Thats quite a grudge joy have there considering it's all over a few shallots, of course if you were supporting your local grocer then you wouldn't have had the shallot incident which has clearly affected you deeply. As for the GR INCH a quick search of this site and the clacton section will show you that this poor soul's often inflicted his poor spelling and excessive use of the term lol under the user name of da_management and is what is commonly known as a troll in internet land.
My final words on the subject.
Justice79 sadly there is no local grocer within 3 miles of where I live not even a farm shop which I would happily use .
Sainsburys,Coop ,Marks Tey (overpriced )Food shop is about all we have.

Well that's got me beaten. How can I respond, when the Tories come up with such intelligent, reasoned arguments? Anyway, need to get back to me mate's house, left my burrberry scarf there while picking up a nine bar of soap.
