Health inspectors upgraded a hospital’s A&E rating to “good” after improvements.

A Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection was carried out by the hospital at Milton Keynes University Hospital in April following the death of a patient.

Information shared with the CQC pointed to “potential concerns” about the systemic safety and quality of people’s care; however, inspectors found that improvements had been made.

CQC upgraded hospital confidence from ‘requires improvement’ to ‘good’ for the safe category.

He said the hospital would remain “good” overall, along with the categories of effective, caring, responsive and well-managed.

The CQC said a number of improvements had been made at the hospital, including proactively sharing learning to better protect patients.

Stuart Dunn, CQC’s deputy director of operations for the East of England, said: “When we reviewed the urgent and emergency services at Milton Keynes University Hospital, we were pleased to see leaders supporting a strong culture of learning and safety.

“This has led to significant improvements in the quality of care for people and reduced length of stay for people in the emergency room.”

Among the findings, Mr Dunn said staff treated people with compassion and worked well with colleagues from different mental health providers to ensure a seamless integration of people’s physical and mental health services.

“Leaders have thoroughly investigated incidents where things went wrong, involving the people affected,” he said, adding that although staff were busy at times, people reported feeling safe.

Although departments are now rated “good,” they are often full or near capacity, the report said.

Staff told investigators that children were in beds in the emergency department when they should have been in specialist mental health beds, but sometimes none were available.
