Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital
HAI Unannounced Inspection
Inspection Date: 6 December 2012
Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital contains 85 beds. The
hospital provides acute care for children up to 14 years of age,
although there is some flexibility with this for individual
children. The hospital provides a comprehensive range of paediatric
services, covering all aspects of inpatient, outpatient and day
case care.
We previously inspected Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital in
October 2011. That inspection resulted in seven requirements and
one recommendation. The inspection report is available on the
Healthcare Improvement Scotland website http://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org/HEI.aspx.
We carried out an unannounced inspection to Royal Aberdeen
Children’s Hospital on Thursday 6 December 2012. We assessed the
hospital against the NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS)
healthcare associated infection (HAI) standards and inspected the
following areas:
- assessment unit
- day case unit
- high dependency unit
- medical ward
- surgical unit, and
- X-ray department.
This report highlights areas of
strengths as well as areas for further improvement, including
requirements and recommendations.
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 Grampian for further information on progress against
this action plan.
