Mount Gould hospital diagnostic Imaging services rated positively by the CQC
We are delighted the CQC came to inspect our x-ray services at Mount Gould and rated them the equivalent of good.
The CQC inspected us against 2 standards* and we are pleased to say they have given feedback on areas of good practice, particularly:
- The service provides appropriate and accurate information to meet people's needs
- the service was accessible and people were supported when using the service
Darryn Allcorn, Chief Nurse and Director of Integrated Professions, said: “I am really pleased the CQC have given a positive assessment on the diagnostic and screening services we provide at Mount Gould hospital. It is particularly pleasing to see our colleagues recognised by the inspectors on the part they play in ensuring services are accessible, and the ability they have in supporting patients with additional needs during appointments. We are expecting the CQC to return to assess other parts of the framework to give an overall score for the service, but this is a positive reflection on the care patients receive at Mount Gould hospital.
The CQC selected two quality statements as a focus of the visit on this occasion ‘Providing Information’ and ‘Equity in Access’. The two statements were graded against assessment criteria and given marks, with 4 being the highest score and 3 equivalent to ‘Good’. Below is the breakdown of their assessment:
