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.

NICU achieves silver accreditation
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.
Well done to Bluebell B!
