The Trust’s Colorectal team hosted the 11th Winter Colorectal day at St Peter’s on Friday 9 December. This international inspiring conference was supported by the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) Coloproctology Section, the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and Colorectal Disease Journal.

Following the below updates, Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals have moved out of business continuity incident. This reflected a significant volume of work by colleagues resulting in an improved position, although services remain busy and work continues to address ongoing challenges.

Although we have stepped down from the critical incident declared last week at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, our services continue to remain under extreme pressure and to ensure patients continue to receive safe, high quality care, we have had to rearrange some non-urgent operations and outpatient appointments to accommodate those patients with the most urgent clinical need.

Spending Christmas in hospital may be necessary for some but, for many, there is no place like home. We know that people recover more quickly at home with all their own, familiar things around them and with the love and support of their families and friends. At this time of year, it is even more important that everyone who is able to can be at home.
