Our view of the service

We carried out an unannounced focused inspection of surgical services only at Glenfield Hospital on 3, 4 and 9 June 2025. The assessment was carried out as we had concerns about the culture in cardiac surgery and the potential impact this had on patient safety. We assessed 33 quality statements across safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. We did not cover the full range of surgical services provided at the Glenfield Hospital. It was a focused assessment of cardiac, thoracic, vascular and hepatobiliary specialities and services. The report therefore does not update the ratings for either the location or surgical services at this time. We will return at a future date to carry out a more comprehensive inspection. Previous location ratings apply.
