\n Spire Southampton Hospital has maintained its overall \u2018Good\u2019 rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an unannounced inspection of its surgical services.\n<\/p>\n
\n The hospital also received \u2018Good\u2019 ratings across all surgical areas, including safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness, and leadership.\n<\/p>\n
\n Thelma Henderson, hospital director at Spire Southampton Hospital, said: “We are proud to have maintained our ‘Good’ rating and especially pleased that inspectors recognised our commitment to safe, personalised care for our NHS and private patients, and community collaboration.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Our teams work tirelessly to ensure patients feel safe, informed, and supported, and we are pleased that the inspectors have recognised the role we play within our community.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The CQC highlighted the hospital\u2019s positive safety culture, noting its openness, honesty, and commitment to learning from other hospitals.\n<\/p>\n
\n Staff were described as qualified, skilled, and experienced, with patients reporting that they felt cared for and supported throughout their treatment.\n<\/p>\n
\n One patient told inspectors: “I honestly couldn\u2019t ask for more.\n<\/p>\n
\n “All staff (are) lovely, caring, and super professional.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The hospital\u2019s support for patients with dementia and neurodiverse needs was also praised.\n<\/p>\n
\n The CQC commended Spire Southampton’s community engagement and partnerships with the local NHS trust and Integrated Care Board, which have helped reduce waiting lists and improve access to care.\n<\/p>\n
\n The hospital was also recognised for its investment in advanced technology.\n<\/p>\n
\n In 2024, it installed a \u00a31.8m da Vinci surgical robot to treat prostate, kidney, and bladder cancers.\n<\/p>\n
