Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating at UHDB

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. It monitors and inspects our services to assess the quality and safety of care we provide.

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust is currently rated Good overall by the CQC. 

This overall rating was last updated in June 2021. Since then, however, the CQC has continued to review and inspect individual services, and findings and ratings vary across the different services we provide. 

We welcome the independent scrutiny provided by the CQC. Where inspections identify areas where we need to improve, we take these findings seriously and use them alongside feedback from patients, staff and other sources to help us improve the quality and safety of our services.

The CQC publishes its inspection findings independently. For the latest information about UHDB, including individual inspection reports and ratings, see:
