SALISBURY District Hospital has been awarded a quality mark for its provision of health and social care information.

The NHS Foundation Trust was assessed by The Information Standard and had to demonstrate it has the necessary processes and systems to ensure information meets the quality criteria.

Katrina Brockbank, clinical effectiveness facilitator at the hospital, said: “This is excellent news for our patients as it shows that we have systems and approval processes in place to ensure that our patient information is evidence based, accurate, reader friendly and conforms to all elements of the Information Standard.”
