An onsite assessment of children and young people (CYP) services took place on 22 and 23 April 2026, followed by two leader interviews on 7 and 14 May 2026.
The assessment focused on children and young people service division, reviewing progress since the 2017 assessment, which had identified requirement actions. While improvements had been made since 2017, further evaluation was undertaken.
Children’s services at Bassetlaw General Hospital provide both inpatient and outpatient care. The service included:

In 2025, the children’s emergency service was formally integrated into the wider children’s services division. This transition ensured improved management support and oversight. To enhance staff competence and confidence across both settings, staff were supported to work across inpatient and emergency areas, with additional training provided to ensure appropriate competencies for their roles.
