We are delighted to share that QVH has once again been recognised as one of the country's top-performing hospitals for patient experience, achieving the joint highest overall patient experience score in England in the latest national Care Quality Commission Adult Inpatient Survey! ๐
Our patients rated their overall experience at QVH 9.3 out of 10, compared with a national average of 8.2, with particularly high scores for respect and dignity (9.8/10), kindness and compassion (9.7/10), confidence and trust in doctors and nurses (9.5/10), and cleanliness (9.7/10). The survey also highlighted several areas where QVH stands out nationally, including getting patients to a ward bed quickly, taking account of patients' mental health needs, supporting families and carers, and helping patients understand what happens next after discharge.
Thank you to all of our QVH colleagues - whether you work directly with patients or in one of our many support services - you all contributed to these brilliant results! Thank you also to our patients for taking the time to share their feedback and help us continue to improve. ๐
