Introducing the back to the floor concept at the Royal Wolverhampton and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trusts

Abstract

The Back to the Floor concept has been in existence for many years and is used by nursing and midwifery teams across a wide range of healthcare organizations in the UK. The aim of the approach is to improve patient experience through strengthened, visible, senior clinical leadership. The concept can support the aims and objectives of an organizational nursing, midwifery, and allied health professions strategy, which in the case of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (RWT) and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust (WHT), is the Quality Framework.
