North Bristol Trust maternity services continue to be rated as Good following inspection
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has maintained its rating of the North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) Maternity Services as Good, following an inspection in November 2023.
Inspectors highlighted some areas of outstanding practice, including the Patient Partner volunteers and Project Smile, which was set up to address poorer outcomes nationally in pregnancy and birth among those from Black and Asian backgrounds.
The report also identified some areas for improvement, including cleanliness in some areas and the safe storage of medicines. The North Bristol NHS Trust has taken action on the small number of areas identified.
Further details of the inspection can be found on the North Bristol Trust website.
