We have been on a journey of significant improvement and we are proud of the progress we have made. During their last inspection in 2018, CQC recognised the dedication and commitment of our talented and professional workforce. Rated Outstanding for Caring and Good for Well Led, staff were recognised for “going the extra mile” and treating patients with compassion, dignity and respect; and there was praise for the unanimous commitment to maintaining and improving the quality and safety of patient care. Furthermore, our commitment to tackling financial challenges was demonstrated earlier this year as the Trust was removed from Financial Special Measures. We have little doubt that our financial progress is a direct result of the improvements we have made to the efficiency and effectiveness of the care we provide and the work we do in all parts of the organisation.
