Well done to Gentian ward at King George Hospital for achieving 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.

Wards are 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.

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

Ward Sister Flora Casas expressed immense pride in her team's achievement.

Flora said:

We’re all incredibly proud of Gentian Ward. A huge thank you to the entire team for their hard work and commitment. We’re now setting our sights on achieving gold next time!
