Vale of Leven Hospital
Unannounced inspection
Inspection Date: 7 June 2012
The Vale of Leven Hospital, Alexandria, serves the region of
Dunbartonshire. The hospital has approximately 90 inpatient beds
and offers a range of services including maternity, medicine for
the elderly, minor injuries and a renal unit.
We previously inspected Vale of Leven Hospital in August 2011.
That inspection resulted in two recommendations. The inspection
report is available on the Healthcare Improvement Scotland website
http://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org/HEI.aspx.
We carried out an unannounced inspection to Vale of Leven
Hospital on Thursday 7 June 2012.
We assessed the hospital against the NHS Quality Improvement
Scotland (NHS QIS) healthcare associated infection (HAI) standards
and inspected the following areas:
- Lomond ward (general medicine)
- renal unit
- physiotherapy department
- ward 6 (mixed surgical), and
- ward 15 (elderly assessment/rehabilitation).
The improvement action plan for this inspection has now been
removed from the Healthcare Improvement Scotland website, as the
inspection took place more than 16 weeks ago. Please contact
NHS Greater Glasgow and Cylde for further information on
progress against this action plan.
