Can Gerry Robinson Fix the NHS? - XB008/DVD01
This DVD contains the three programmes from the series that follow Gerry Robinson in his mission to reduce waiting lists at Rotherham General Hospital, within 6 months and with no money.Programme One
Gerry is shocked to discover that despite waiting lists and complaints there’s never enough operating time and some theatres are lying empty. The situation is exacerbated when he learns that there’s almost no operating on Friday afternoons. With over three thousand people on the waiting list for operations, Gerry wants answers.
Programme Two
Two months in, and Sir Gerry is finding the going tough; tensions between the Consultants and hospital management are making it difficult for him to get anything done.
When he discovers a staff shortage in theatre, Gerry is stunned that the situation has gone unresolved for so long, proving to him that there is no day-to-day management happening here. What’s more shocking to him is that some of the nurses had never seen, let alone met, the Chief Executive before.
Programme Three
In this final programme in the series, Gerry is running out of time and patience.
He’s made some progress; waiting times in one department have dropped from 8 weeks to 2 weeks, he’s getting the surgeons to use their time in theatres more effectively, and extra nursing staff is helping theatres run more efficiently.
But there’s something that still needs work: The Chief Executive, Brian James. Gerry wants him to start leading the organization by getting out of his office and engaging with the staff at every level. But Gerry has only has weeks left at Rotherham and he’s not convinced the Chief Executive will take his advice.
