PATIENT INFO

Quality

We have the highest standards by independent audit

The Wellington Diagnostics & Outpatients Centre is regulated by The Healthcare Commission and operated, together with local GP's and consultants, by The Wellington Hospital. Our ongoing commitment is to lead the way in quality standards in healthcare, publishing outcome data that demonstrates our outstanding performance. For example:

• Our patients are safer in our hospitals. MRSA infection rates are six times lower than other London hospitals. (Source: Health Protection Agency.)
• Less than 1% of patients experience unplanned returns to the operating theatre
• Patient survival rates are almost 5 times better than predicted (source: Intensive Care national Audit Research Centre)
• Award winners for Best Nursing Practice and Best Healthcare Outcomes (source: Laing & Buisson Independent Healthcare Awards 2006)
