Congratulations to Ash Ward at King George Hospital, which has been awarded silver in our ward accreditation programme.

Ward accreditation is part of our ongoing efforts to improve and standardise the quality of care given to patients at our hospitals and sees wards assessed by corporate nurses and subject matter experts.

They provide a report that tells the ward what they're doing well and what needs to be better to reach the next level.

This covers things like patient experience, safety, how staff are feeling, how efficiently the ward runs, and how well they're doing on equality, diversity and inclusion.

Ward Manager Josephine Mascarenhas-Banza expressed that achieving the silver award means a great deal to the team. She said:

This award reflects the high standard of care our ward provides to patients, and it acknowledges the dedication and commitment of our staff. Next, we’re going for gold!
