Our view of the service

We assessed Queen Alexandra Hospital from 6 to 10 May 2025.

At this inspection we inspected 2 assessment service groups: urgent and emergency care and medical care including older persons’ medicine. We also reviewed progress made against a warning notice served on the provider following the inspection of urgent and emergency care in October 2019. We found that the service had made improvements and had met the actions of the warning notices

We visited the following areas as part of the assessment:

Urgent and emergency services, medical wards and the endoscopy department.

We rated the location as Good.

The hospital was in breach of legal regulations in relation to premises and equipment (waiting and escalation areas in the emergency department), staffing (training), person centred care (learning disability), and good governance (contemporaneous records and identifying and assessing risks).
