Kettering General Hospital Ophthalmology Enter and View
On the 20th of June 2024, we visited Kettering General Hospital's Ophthalmology Department to carry out an Enter and View. We are happy to share the final report below.
Our aim with the visit was to evaluate the services provided from the perspective of the service users within Kettering General Hospital’s Eye Unit, including Ophthalmology Outpatients and the Spencer ward. The information gained from the visit was used to make some recommendations and areas in which the service was providing quality care, were acknowledged.
