South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust, which was formed in 1993[2] runs South Tyneside District Hospital providing healthcare services for South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon, Cleadon and Whitburn. In May 2018 it agreed to merge with City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust.[3]
History
The present hospital was formed following the closure of the Ingham Infirmary in Westoe and is located on the site of the former South Shields General hospital.
Buildings
Many of the buildings housing the South Shields General hospital were formerly occupied by a workhouse. Although some of these blocks remain, many have been demolished and almost all clinical services (along with those of the Ingham Infirmary) have been transferred to the four storey Ingham Wing and the adjoining extensions housing maternity, oupatient, radiology and accident and emergency services. The Bede wing, located near Harton Lane, houses the psychiatric wards.
The Trust won a contract from South Tyneside Council in August 2014 to develop an integrated care services hub, to be built as a standalone facility on the hospital site.[4]
Services
Services at South Tyneside District Hospital include accident and emergency, medical and surgical wards, radiology, maternity, orthopaedics, intensive care, anaesthetics, physiotherapy, pharmacy and care of the elderly. One of the services provided is the urgent care community services. Nurse lead teams that assess, treat and provide care to patients in their own homes with acute or exacerbated conditions.
Sunderland and South Tyneside clinical commissioning groups decided in February 2018 to centralise hospital based stroke, maternity, gynaecology and paediatric services at Sunderland Royal Hospital, so the services at South Tyneside will be closed or downgraded. A 14 hour a day, nurse led paediatric minor injuries and illnesses service at South Tyneside will be established in their place.[5]
Performance
The Trust recorded a deficit of £1 Million in 2012-13 but predicts a break even in 2013-14.[6]
Staffing
It achieved the bronze status Investors in People Award in 2015.[7] It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 3818 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 5.71%. 63% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 57% recommended it as a place to work.[8] The trust reported a 6.7% staff absence rate, the highest in England in 2014/5.[9]
The trusts staffing costs are said to be 10% higher than comparable organisations. It has had the highest staff sickness absence rate of any acute trust in England for four years in a row, with an average rate of 5.6% of days lost to sickness absence for the first three quarters of 2016-17.[10]
