Ninewells Hospital
HAI unannounced inspection
Inspection dates: 25 and 26 April 2011
Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, serves the region
of Angus, Dundee City, North East Fife, and Perth and Kinross. It
contains 855 staffed beds and has a full range of healthcare
specialties.
We previously carried out an unannounced
inspection to Ninewells Hospital in November 2010. That inspection
resulted in 11 requirements and four recommendations. The
inspection report is available on the Healthcare Improvement
Scotland website http://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org/HEI.aspx.
We carried out an unannounced follow-up
inspection to Ninewells Hospital on Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 April
2011.
We assessed the hospital against the NHS
Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) HAI standards and inspected
the following areas:
- ward 3 (respiratory)
- ward 6 (medicine for the
elderly)
- ward 7 (general surgery)
- ward 8 (urology - temporarily moved
to ward 31)
- ward 17 (trauma/emergency
orthopaedics), and
- ward 22 (renal).
This inspection report highlights areas of strengths as well as
areas for further improvement, including recommendations for
actions.
The improvement action plan for this
inspection has now been removed from the HEI website, as the
inspection took place more than 16 weeks ago. Please contact NHS
Tayside for further information on progress against this action
plan.
