The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has published a report on Stoke Mandeville Hospital, part of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust following a recent inspection in June.
CQC carried out a focused inspection of the trusts children’s emergency department in response to concerns raised about the safety and quality of the service. Inspectors found children and young people received safe care. However, the trust needs to review its systems to make sure potential serious incidents are managed in a way that allows any lessons learned to be shared, to reduce the risk of them happening again.
