We were delighted to welcome Mike Reader, Member of Parliament for Northampton South to Three Shires Hospital to meet staff, doctors and patients.
Mr Reader took time out of his busy schedule to congratulate staff in person following the news that the hospital had been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating by the CQC.
On arrival, Mr Reader was taken on a tour of the hospital, led by Executive Director Matthew Cook. During the tour, Mr Reader met staff, patients and doctors who took great pride in sharing their stories and experiences with him. The tour included a visit to the imaging, outpatients, theatres and wards. During the tour, Mr Reader was fascinated to hear about the different ways patients from across his constituency were accessing treatment and services at the hospital.
Commenting on the visit, Matthew Cook, Executive Director of Three Shires Hospital, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Mr Reader to Three Shires Hospital. We are incredibly proud of our ‘Outstanding’ CQC rating and the work we do supporting patients across Northamptonshire to access safe, effective and high-quality care in a timely manner.”
Our thanks to Mr Reader and his team for visiting us and congratulations to colleagues at Three Shires Hospital for their incredible CQC result.
