A team of CQC inspectors visited the trust in December 2017 and January 2018 to check the quality of four core services: urgent and emergency services, medical services, maternity services and children and young people services.

In January CQC looked specifically at management and leadership to answer the key question: Is the trust well led?

Inspection findings

As a result of this inspection the trust has again been rated Requires Improvement overall, although it was rated Good for being caring and responsiveness.

Inspectors found there was limited assurance about safety, especially within the urgent and emergency care services at Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Bassetlaw District General Hospital.

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospital's Self-Service System

A new ‘self-service’ system will be in place in the emergency departments at Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Bassetlaw Hospital as clinicians work to improve the sign-in process within the area and reduce overcrowding in waiting rooms.
Patients are advised to go directly to reception if they are having severe difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, rapid swelling of the eyes, mouth or throat or you feel like you are about to collapse.
