East Cheshire NHS Trust rated ‘Good’ by CQC
East Cheshire NHS Trust has again been rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission, with areas of outstanding practice noted in critical care, outpatients and end-of-life care.
Since their last inspection, January 2018, the trust rating has remained the same. Inspectors found that the organisations well-led, with leaders recorded as running services well, supporting staff to develop their skills. Additionally, staff understood the trust’s vision and values, and how to apply them in their work.
John Wilbraham, chief executive at the trust, said: “I am delighted that we have again been rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and improved on the results of our previous assessment in several key areas. I am extremely proud that once again the CQC found our staff to demonstrate patient-focused and inclusive care, compassion, kindness and respect, along with maintained privacy and dignity. They also experienced a well-led open culture and high staff engagement throughout the areas they inspected. I would like to thank staff across the organisation for their continued commitment to patient care.”
The trust runs local community health services along with Macclesfield District General Hospital, Congleton War Memorial Hospital and Knutsford and District Community Hospital.
