Well Organised ward (WOW) West 3 ward –Dynamap stations –Store rooms x 2 –Hoist Station –Drug cupboards –Sluice

Dynamaps before: Not all in one place Untidy Batteries flat as not plugged in Sats probe often broken because left on floor Time taken to find dynamap, stock up and plug in when at the patient’s bed = 6 minutes 41 seconds
