Liverpool hospital chiefs given clean bill of health after inspection

LEADERSHIP at the top of Liverpool's hospitals has been given a ringing endorsement by a national health watchdog after an excoriating review four years ago.

The Care Quality Commission has delivered its latest assessment of performance of the management of the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust following an update inspection earlier this year.

In 2021, hospital chiefs were branded "out of touch", "inexperienced" and having "limited insight." The inadequate verdict led to the resignation of former chief executive Steve Warburton.

Since then, the Trust has undergone a major overhaul with a slew of key appointments including a new chair, chief executive, chief nurse, and chief medical officer. The turnaround has been welcomed by the CQC who have delivered a rating of good for the city's health leaders.
