Tamworth’s Sir Robert Peel Hospital has scored well in a recent visit by the Patient Environment Action Teams (PEAT).

The visit which looked at the cleanliness and environment issues that effect the patients visit to hospitals is carried out by a PEAT team which is made up of NHS staff, including nurses and domestic managers, executive and non-executive directors and their estate managers as well as patient representatives.

The Sir Robert Peel was awarded Good for the environment and food and was awarded Excellent for the Privacy and Dignity afforded to patients of the hospital.

Stuart Poynor, PCT Chief Executive, has high praise for the staff and said:

“PCT Provider Services is delighted to have been assessed as having a good standard of cleanliness and environment and providing a good range of food options. We are also delighted with the excellent rating for privacy and dignity for Sir Robert Peel Hospital.”

The areas investigated included the catering on offer to patients and the general environment, but the Sir Robert Peel Hospital was commended for the the high level of privacy and dignity provided, which includes sleeping rooms and the toilet/bathroom facilities within the hospital.
