Sleep
The Imperial College Healthcare Sleep Centre has won a BTS Silver Jubilee Award 2007 and an NHS Alliance Acorn Award 2008 for clinical engagement. Through close cooperation between clinicians and managers, and clinical empowerment, the team transformed a fragmented, under-resourced and inefficient service with weak clinical governance, with up to a one year wait for sleep studies. The service now has an 800% increase in weekly inpatient capacity; a new one-site service; a one-stop-shop screening to CPAP service; halving in DNA rates, and more than 96% patients surveyed rated the service as good or excellent.
