Well done to everyone working at St Mary’s Hospital and Whitelodge Treatment Centre for achieving high scores on a recent National assessment which rates the quality of food provision, whether patients are treated in privacy and with dignity and the standard of the environment patients are treated in.
The report was issued by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) in its annual Patient Environment Action Team (PEAT) assessments.
St. Mary’s Hospital and Whitelodge Treatment and Assessment Centre for people with Learning Disabilities have been given ratings of ‘Excellent’ and ‘Good’ in the 2009 assessments.
Scoring a fantastic 5 out of 5, St Mary’s Hospital received ‘Excellent’ for the Environment category, and ‘Good’ on Food and Privacy.
Whereas Whitelodge received an ‘Excellent’ for Privacy and ‘Good’ for Food and Environment.
Sheila Paul, the Island’s NHS Chief Operating Officer said: “The three areas assessed are important aspects of patient care and we have a duty to our patients, visitors and staff to ensure the environment in which they are being cared for in is clean and safe. It is the commitment and hard work of our staff which has led to us to achieving these high standards and it is really pleasing to see this acknowledged in the assessments.”
