Japonica ward gets silver accreditation!
Well done to Japonica ward at King George Hospital for their success in our ward accreditation programme.
Ward accreditation is part of our efforts to improve and standardise the quality of care given to patients.
Wards are assessed by 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 levels of bronze, silver or gold.
This 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.
Senior Sister Aine Crowe said she is very proud of the team for their silver success.
Aine said:
We have had bronze in the past, so we have been working for a few years towards this silver. It just gives us as a team a good standard of care and happy patients.
