CQC
All NHS organisations are subject to regular inspections by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This is to ensure services are providing care that is safe, caring, effective and well led.
The Care Quality Commission visited the Trust in January and February 2019, followed by a review in March to inspect core services and conduct a utilisation of resources and well-led review.
Following its first inspection, the Trust has been rated as ‘good’ which is testament to the hard work of 12,500 staff across our five hospitals.
The report compliments staff and volunteers for treating patients with kindness, dignity and respect. Read about some of our areas of outstanding practice below.
