Weston Hospital CQC Inspection

News - 8 October 2014

The inspections – which are carried out by a mixture of inspectors, clinicians, and experts by experience – will assess whether the service overall is: safe, effective, caring, responsive to people’s needs and well-led.

Each of the core services such as maternity and accident and emergency, will also be rated in the same way to provide performance information at a service, hospital and trust level.

The CQC wants to hear about experiences of care at these services. You can do using our share your experience form or by calling the helpline on 03000 616161. They will also hold a number of public listening events ahead of selected inspections where you can talk with an inspector about care at that service. These will be publicised through local media.
