As a Trust we are monitored against national standards and targets known as performance indicators. They provide an overview of how successful we are as an organisation at delivering healthcare. They help us monitor waiting times, safety and patient experience.
Our hospitals are also regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who award ratings against five quality domains: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. On 16 December 2014 Imperial College Healthcare was given the overall CQC rating:
I cannot state highly enough how wonderful this place is. The staff were calm, professional and caring as I was in the worse state possible. I have nothing but the utmost respect and thanks for what they did for me and the ongoing care plan which will be put in place for me. A wonderful service, wonderful people. Thank you

Our experience today at the Western Eye Hospital was first class. At reception the service was prompt and proficient. The waiting area was clean and comfortable. The triage was appropriate and the nurse was comforting. During the second evaluation the nurse was calming to my husband, and the opthalmologist was efficient. Thanks to the staff for a job well done.

I went in with a very painful eye having had a shard of contact lens embed itself under my eyelid. The A&E department was busy beyond belief but I waited under two hours and experienced extreme professionalism and clinically excellent treatment. My relief at the doctor removing the lens was immense - thank you so much. A wonderful A&E in the heart of London, I'm very grateful.
