All health and adult social care providers who provide regulated activities are required by law to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). To do so, providers, such as us, must show they are meeting their standards of quality and safety.

If a trust is found to be falling short of the standards, a warning notice will be issued. This can then escalate to a fine, prosecution, restrictions on activities or, in extreme cases, closure.

We are registered with the CQC with no conditions.

Following registration, the CQC regularly checks all hospitals in England to ensure they are still meeting the national standards. Its findings are published on the CQC website [link]:

St Helier Hospital

During the last inspection, the CQC found that all standards in all five areas were being met.

Our hospitals have been given the second lowest possible risk rating by the health watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in May 2015. This national scheme measures hospitals against 150 indicators.

To compile the rating, CQC analysts measure hospitals against a wide range of factors, including death rates, serious errors and patient surveys using a method known as 'intelligent monitoring'.

From this data, all hospital trusts in the county are given a risk rating, with a risk band of one (meaning that the hospital may be at risk of providing poor care), to six (being the lowest risk rating).

Our hospitals were given the second best rating - five.
