Warwick Hospital has kept its 'good' overall rating after a government watchdog assessed a number of its services.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has published results of four inspections last October across South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust.

Inspectors carried out unannounced checks of urgent and emergency care, end of life care, and services for children and young people at Warwick Hospital, and the trust's community end of life care.

CQC has again rated end of life care, community end of life care and services for children and young people as 'Good', and urgent and emergency care has been rated 'Good'.

The overall rating for Warwick Hospital remains 'good', and the overall rating for South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust remains 'outstanding'.

Fiona Burton, chief nursing officer, said: "We are pleased that the Care Quality Commission has again recognised the high standard of care being delivered across our services, with urgent and emergency care now rated 'good', alongside continued 'good' ratings for end-of-life care, community end of life care, and services for children and young people

"These findings reflect the dedication, compassion and professionalism of our staff, volunteers, and partners, who work every day to provide safe, high-quality care for our patients and communities.

"It is particularly encouraging that inspectors recognised our positive culture, strong leadership, collaborative working, and commitment to continuous improvement.

"We will continue using this feedback to build on our strengths, and further improve the care and support we provide to patients and their families."
