A new Enter and View report is available for our visit to the Wintle Ward at the Warneford Hospital. Read Healthwatch Oxfordshire recommendations and the responses we received from Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust: healthwatchoxfordshire.co.uk…
We recommended - To enhance patient engagement and maintain motivation in the activities program, the activity board should be updated weekly with fresh content. Response from Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust: This has been fed back to the activity team and each weekend an up-to-date activity schedule is shared with the patients and displayed in the communal area ... copies are given to patients to have in their room as needed.
