1st January 1970 - During a routine inspection
![]() KIMS Hospital is operated by KIMS Hospital Ltd. The hospital has 99 beds, 72 of which are currently in use. Facilities include five operating theatres, three of which were laminar flow, an endoscopy suite, an interventional lab/suite, and X-ray, outpatient and diagnostic facilities.
The hospital provides surgery, medical care, and outpatients and diagnostic imaging (including services for children and young people). We inspected surgery, medical care, outpatients, and diagnostic imaging.
We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out the announced part of the inspection on 10 and 11 January 2018.
To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Where we have a legal duty to do so we rate services’ performance against each key question as outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
Throughout the inspection, we took account of what people told us and how the provider understood and complied with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
The main service provided by this hospital was surgery. Where our findings on surgery – for example, major incident planning – also apply to other services, we do not repeat the information but cross-refer to the surgery core service.
