Congratulations to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Queen’s Hospital, who have been awarded 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.

 

Aileen Soliven, neonatal clinical educator, said:

It means a lot to the neonatal team and I am extremely grateful for this award because this serves as a testament to our commitment to provide safe and high quality care to our babies and their families.

A massive congratulations to the entire neonatal team for their outstanding support and efforts to achieve this accreditation.

Senior sister Deepa Maliackal said:

Our teamwork is great and this has proved it.

We will be aiming for the gold award in future assessments. Congratulations to the team.
