West Suffolk Hospital’s Macmillan
Unit scores highly for its quality
patient environment
The Macmillan
Unit at the West
Suffolk Hospital
has scored highly
in its MQEM
(Macmillan
Quality
Environment
Mark)
accreditation reassessment,
maintaining an overall score of 4 (very
good) and retaining its high standards.
While the overall score has remained
the same, pleasingly some of the
inspected domains have improved.
The unit, which includes ward G1,
the Macmillan Day Unit, Macmillan
outpatients and the Macmillan
information and support centre, was
inspected, assessed and scored for the
following quality standards:
• Design and use of space – level 4,
very good
• The user’s journey – level 5,
excellent
• Service experience – level 5,
excellent
• The user’s voice – level 4, very good.
Macmillan’s quality standards of
excellence consider the cancer care
physical environment and refl ect the
views and expressed wishes of people
with cancer.
Nicky McKee, Macmillan information
and support centre manager at
the West Suffolk NHS Foundation
Trust, said: “We are delighted with
the outcomes of our most recent
MQEM accreditation, in particular
the areas where we scored excellent
because they directly involve patient
experience and feedback. We strive
to provide a quality environment
for all our cancer patients, whatever
stage of their treatment and care
journey, and will continue to make
improvements as a result of feedback
and recommendations in the report.”
Karen McKinnon, lead cancer nurse
at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation
Trust, said: “We’re grateful to our
patients for providing feedback, it is
really important that we hear directly
from them so that we can continue to
make changes to improve our service
to them. Sadly demand for our cancer
services is high but we are dedicated
to providing high quality and timely
care in order to give our patients
the best chance of overcoming the
disease.”
