The Issue
At University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire (UHCW) Care Assistant David Faulkner was experiencing difficulty in communicating with patients
In one example, because of a language barrier a patient became very distressed when David was trying to prepare him for an angiogram. He spent two hours trying to calm the patient, but in the end the procedure was cancelled
This situation represented one of many experienced by the hospital
Seeking a solution, UHCW approached CDS in June 2010
