At the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth we have a robust governance framework that is committed to maintaining the hospital’s high standards. In March 2019 the hospital was awarded CHKS accreditation, confirming we achieved international best practice standards.
In ‘High Quality Care for All’ Lord Darzi explained that quality exists in three domains: patient safety, effectiveness of care and patient experience. At our hospital we would like to echo this statement by aiming to reduce avoidable accidents, continuing to maintain our low infection rates (an exemplary performance), monitoring patient reported outcomes and through the continued analysis patient satisfaction surveys in terms of compassion, dignity and respect in a clean, safe and well managed environment.
