6th November 2013 - During a routine inspection
![]() During our visit, we spoke with five patients, looked at the care records of four patients, spoke with seven members of staff, looked at four staff records and the training matrix for all staff, and reviewed the results of the patient satisfaction survey which patients had completed. Patients we spoke with told us staff treated them respectfully and promoted their dignity. One patient told us, “Everyone is so polite; they always knock on my door. All the staff are very friendly, that includes people who bring me my meals and the staff who clean my bedroom.” Patients we spoke with told us they felt involved in all aspects of their care and treatment. One patient told us,“I was given the date for my surgery, I turned up and the surgery took place as planned. It’s worked like clockwork.” All the patients we spoke with spoke highly about the care and treatment they received from staff. Comments patients made included, “All the nurses have been lovely. I was in a lot of pain last night but they gave me all the medication they could when I asked for it” and, “I am so lucky to be here in this hospital. I can’t speak highly enough of them.” Patients who used the service were protected from the risk of abuse, because the provider had taken reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent abuse from happening. Patients were cared for, or supported by, suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff. The provider had an effective system in place to identify, assess and manage risks to the health, safety and welfare of patients who used the service and others.

![]() Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital is operated by Nuffield Health. The hospital has 88 beds and facilities include six operating theatres (two of which have laminar flow), a hybrid interventional suite, endoscopy and radiology services. The hospital provides surgery, critical care, children and young people and outpatients and diagnostic imaging services. We inspected each of these services.
We inspected this hospital using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out the announced inspection 8 to10 February 2017, with an unannounced visit to the hospital on 22 February 2017.
We rated surgery and outpatients and diagnostic imaging as outstanding and services for children and young people and critical care as good. We rated the hospital as outstanding overall.
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, management arrangements – also apply to other services, we do not repeat the information but cross-refer to the surgery core service.
