Clementine B get silver ward accreditation
Clementine B ward at Queen’s Hospital has become the latest to achieve silver in our ward accreditation scheme.
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.
All staff on the ward were very proud of their achievement, including senior sister Helen Opara.
Helen said: It means a lot, not just for the ward but for the patients as it shows we’re providing high-quality patient care.
It’s a team effort, so I want to say a big thank you the whole team, the nurses, domestics, hostesses, doctors and therapists.
We currently have one gold ward, 19 silver and 19 bronze.
