Raigmore Hospital
HAI Unannounced Inspection
Inspection Dates: 26-27 June 2012
Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, is an acute general hospital with
500 beds. Services include accident and emergency, outpatients,
maternity unit, coronary care unit and intensive care unit. There
are 11 operating theatres.
We previously inspected Raigmore Hospital in March 2011. That
inspection resulted in eight 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 unannounced inspection to Raigmore Hospital on
Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 June 2012.
We assessed the hospital against the NHS Quality Improvement
Scotland (NHS QIS) healthcare associated infection (HAI) standards
and inspected the following areas:
- ward 2C (oncology/haematology)
- ward 4C (general surgery)
- ward 5A (medicine of the elderly)
- ward 6A (acute medical assessment), and
- ward 6C (cardiology/general medicine).
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
Highland for further information on progress against this action
plan.
