Lorn & Islands General Hospital
Announced inspection
Inspection Date: 18 April 2012
Lorn & Islands General Hospital, Oban, is a 66 bed district
general hospital providing acute and community services for the
surrounding area and Argyll & Bute Community Health
Partnership.
We previously inspected Lorn & Islands General Hospital in
January 2011. That inspection resulted in four requirements and
three recommendations. The inspection report is available on the
Healthcare Improvement Scotland website http://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org/HEI.aspx.
We carried out an announced inspection to Lorn & Islands
General Hospital on Wednesday 18 April 2012.
We assessed the hospital against the NHS Quality Improvement
Scotland (NHS QIS) healthcare associated infection (HAI) standards
and inspected the following areas:
- accident & emergency department (A&E)
- ward A (surgical)
- ward B (medical/high dependency unit) and,
- ward I (rehabilitation/stroke/palliative care).
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 Healthcare Improvement Scotland website, as the
inspection took place more than 16 weeks ago. Please contact
NHS Highland for further information on progress against this
action plan.
