Congratulations to Fern ward at King George Hospital for attaining silver in our ward accreditation programme.

Ward accreditation is part of our ongoing efforts to improve and standardise the quality of care given to patients at our hospitals and sees wards assessed by corporate 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 next level. This covers things like patient experience, safety, how staff are feeling, how efficiently the ward runs, and how well they're doing on equality, diversity and inclusion.

Fern ward were delighted to achieve silver and are already preparing to go for gold.

We currently have one gold ward, 20 silver and 18 bronze.
