South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has had it's rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) upgraded from 'Requires Improvement’ to ‘Good’.

It follows an inspection in June this year.

Two areas of practice – Nursing for End of Life care and work to provide care to patients closer to home – were identified as ‘Outstanding’ in the report.

“We came across numerous examples where patient outcomes have improved since our last inspection, which is great news for people using these services.”
