Overall inspection

Requires improvement

Updated 17 April 2020

Our rating of the trust stayed the same. We rated it as requires improvement because:

  • We rated safe, responsive and well led as requires improvement and caring as good. Effective went up from requires improvement to good. Ratings for four key questions, safe, caring, responsive and well led remained the same whilst effective improved. The rating for the well led question at trust level remained the same as requires improvement.
  • We rated two of the trust’s four acute core services as requires improvement (urgent and emergency care and surgery), one as good (outpatients) and one as outstanding (end of life care). Overall ratings for urgent and emergency care and surgery remained the same, and outpatients and end of life care had improved. In rating the trust, we took into account the current ratings of the four services not inspected this time.

On the basis of this inspection, the Chief Inspector of Hospitals has recommended that the trust is removed from special measures.
