Short abstract:
Developed by nurses in the Emergency Department at Great Western Hospitals (GWH) NHS Foundation Trust, UniWee™ is an innovative device which provides female patients who are unable to walk with a dignified, pain-free way to urinate whilst sitting or lying down. Health Innovation West of England commissioned Unity Insights to produce a cost-benefit analysis tool and high-level carbon impact analysis of the UniWee™ in the neck of femur pathway in the average NHS hospital in England. This project involved creation of an interactive tool and a high-level evaluation report.
This evaluation report showed that the UniWee indicates meaningful potential to improve
operational efficiencies, reduce costs, and improve environmental sustainability within the average
NHS hospital neck of femur fracture pathway for female patients. It may also improve
patient outcomes and experience and reduce health inequalities.
