Alvaston Ward at Cygnet Hospital Derby are officially the first accredited Quality Network for Forensic Mental Health Services ward
Following on from the accreditation committee meeting which took place on 17 October 2024, Alvaston Ward at Cygnet Hospital Derby has met the required thresholds for accreditation.
Alvaston Ward are officially the first (and currently only) accredited Quality Network for Forensic Mental Health Services ward and this a huge achievement!
Accreditation involves the assessment of their competence and fairness and the compliance of their work to nationally recognised standards, in this case, the standards for forensic mental health services for low secure wards. The standards act as a framework by which to assess forensic mental health services.
Accreditation is a new process for the QNFMHS, which is run by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Alvaston Ward have undergone the peer review process for many years and have finally been able to undergo and achieve the accredited status.
A lot of hard work and effort has been put into this by the team at Cygnet Hospital Derby specifically Alvaston ward staff.
A huge congratulations from IMPACT East Midlands
