The Trust has made its annual declaration of compliance with the
Healthcare Standards.
The Trust Board met on 1 April 2008 and agreed a declaration of
'Compliant' against all of the Standards.
This is the third year of working with the Healthcare Standards,
which together are sometimes described as a 'licence to practice'
within the NHS.
The Standards cover a diverse range of topics, including patient
safety, hospital food, staff training, infection control,
governance, and the care environment.
