Grading Explained: Requires Improvement

We carried out an unannounced focused inspection of the emergency department at the Leicester Royal Infirmary on 27 January 2020, as part of our winter pressure resilience programme. The decision to inspect was based on intelligence we held about the department and was associated to a potential increase in risk in patient harm. 

 

At the time of our inspection the department was under adverse pressure. 

 

We did not inspect any other core services or wards at this hospital. During this inspection we inspected using our focused inspection methodology. We did not cover all key lines of enquiry.
