Leicester’s Hospitals Rated ‘Good’

The NHS Trust that runs Leicester’s Hospital has been rated as ‘good.’

It follows years of negative ratings by the Care quality Commission, who had said it required improvement.

Inspectors say it still needs to improve when it comes to safety though – as not all services have enough staff.

Bosses are thanking staff for their efforts in helping with the positive progress.

John Adler, Chief Executive of Leicester’s Hospitals said: “I’m immensely proud of our dedicated, talented and compassionate staff and volunteers who go above and beyond daily to care for our patients and their families.

“Our shared and unwavering commitment to our quality improvement strategy Becoming the Best which launched last year is really starting to show results. The ‘Good’ rating from the CQC reflects the progress we are making and it’s encouraging to know that as independent regulators, the Care Quality Commission have been able to see this first-hand.

“We know we still have much to do to see improvement in some areas and the hard work does not stop here. We and our colleagues in the wider NHS locally will be using the findings of the CQC’s report to help us on our improvement journey and our focus on delivering caring at its best for every patient, every time continues.”
