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.

Daisy ward achieves gold
A huge congratulations to Daisy ward at Goodmayes Hospital for achieving gold 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. The report covers things like patient experience, safety, how staff are feeling, how efficiently the ward runs, and how well they are doing on equality, diversity and inclusion.
Daisy is a stroke rehabilitation ward which gives specialist care to patients, and scored an incredible 98% in its assessment. Ward manager Gennie Bermoy stressed that it took a big team effort to achieve this success, including from porters, domestics, cleaners, doctors, therapists, healthcare assistants and nurses.
Gennie said:
We are so proud to be receiving this gold accreditation award. This is a testament to the commitment, the dedication and hard work of each member of our team.
It’s also the result of their continuous hard work and their passion to deliver high standards of care to our patients here in the ward.
Daisy is our second ward to achieve gold, joining Iris ward at King George Hospital.
As well as 2 golds, we have 25 silver and 13 bronze wards.
Well done to Bluebell B!
