Ward accreditation scheme
Ward accreditation is a key component of our ongoing efforts to enhance and standardise the quality of care provided to patients in our hospitals.
Internal assessments are conducted by corporate nurses and subject matter experts. They deliver reports that highlight the ward's strengths. They also identify areas for improvement necessary to achieve the next level of accreditation.
The assessments include various aspects including patient experience, safety, staff morale, operational efficiency, and performance in equality, diversity, and inclusion. Wards receive ratings of bronze, silver, or gold based on their adherence to these standards. Teams work hard to meet rigorous criteria.

Clementine A ward gets silver accreditation
Congratulations to Clementine A ward at Queen’s Hospital for achieving 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.
Ward manager Noelle Tanesha Saclote praised her colleagues for all their hard work as she removed the bronze sticker from the wall and replaced it with the silver accreditation.
Noelle said:
Achieving the silver really means a lot for us as a team.
Everyone worked hard to ensure we achieve this award. Now we are ready to achieve the gold. I know it’s going to be hard work but I’m so excited that everyone is on board with this accreditation.
Well done to Bluebell B!
