Condition lifted at Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals

We have removed a condition on Heatherwood and Wexham Park’s licence following significant improvements to the way it monitors medical equipment.

Our inspectors conducted interviews and checked equipment at the following locations:
• Ascot Birthing Centre at Heatherwood Hospital
• the A&E and coronary care units at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough

The results of the visits show that the trust has now:
• introduced systems to maintain, replace and repair older equipment
• established new committees and equipment co-ordinators to address risks

The trust now has one final condition remaining on its licence, relating to the way it assesses and monitors the quality of its services.
We have given Heatherwood and Wexham Park until 30 October to ensure they meet this condition.
