Colchester hospital branded inadequate by health watchdog

Care Quality Commission scathing over Essex hospital’s ‘understaffed and uncaring’ A&E department, but trust says report is not balanced
The A&E department at Colchester hospital, where a major incident was declared last year after patients were found inappropriately restrained and sedated without consent, is unsafe, the Care Quality Commission has said.
The report is one of the most damning the watchdog has ever produced. It paints a picture of a chaotic and dirty A&E department and an Emergency Assessment Unit where inappropriate restraint, sedation and resuscitation despite a Do not Resuscitate order being in place, were used.
Giving the Essex hospital an “inadequate” rating, the hospital inspectorate said on Friday that the emergency department was understaffed and often uncaring, with a lack of leadership and patients often facing lengthy waiting times. It said that on four occasions, inspectors had to bring the care of patients to the attention of senior clinical staff because they were receiving inadequate treatment that placed them at risk of harm or deteriorating clinical conditions.

Another hospital failing. Just how bad are some things in our hospitals you have to wonder.
