Congratulations to the Frailty Unit at Queen’s Hospital, which achieved bronze in our ward accreditation scheme. 

Ward accreditation is part of our efforts to improve and standardise the quality of care given to patients at our hospitals.

Wards are assessed by corporate nurses and subject matter experts. They provide a report that tells the ward what they're doing well and how they can reach the next level.

This covers patient experience, safety, how staff are feeling, how efficiently the ward runs, and how well they're doing on equality, diversity and inclusion.

Hawa Babatunde, Lead Nurse, explained the award marks the beginning of their journey to achieving silver and gold.

Hawa said:

I want to say thank you to everyone in our team. It’s been a journey and I am so proud of the team. We need to keep it going now.
