Scores for patient equipment using the national audit tool in the labour ward in the Royal infirmary of Edinburgh require improvement. Recent quarterly audits have shown compliance to be 27% in adjacent (joined) ward in January 2015 and 30% in labour ward in May 2015. Also recent HEI inspections have shown that cleanliness of patient equipment in that area is below standard and have issued a requirement to NHS Lothian to address the issue. Project Aim: To achieve 95 % compliance with all critical elements of the NHS Lothian patient equipment monitoring tool by March 2017.
