Case Study: Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust boosts flu vaccination uptake with NHS Employers

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust - Customer Case Study

The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS hospital, sought to significantly improve its low staff flu vaccination rate with the support of vendor NHS Employers. The challenge was to increase vaccine uptake to better protect both vulnerable patients and staff from influenza.

NHS Employers implemented a solution that focused on engaging ward sisters to champion the campaign. By consulting with them to refine the strategy and sending personal letters requesting their leadership, the vendor helped apply principles that encouraged staff participation. This approach resulted in a dramatic increase in the vaccination rate, leaping from 23.8% to 70.2% in a single year, which NHS Employers highlights as an excellent achievement.
