This expertise is combined with a care and compassion, evident in all of our staff, that our patients and families tell us is unique. This dedication and passion for putting our patients at the heart of everything we do has helped us to achieve a rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) of 'Good' overall and 'Outstanding' in the category of 'Caring'. This is something that we're proud of, but it's something that wouldn't have been possible without our staff.
