In particular, the review drew on the matters raised in correspondence (September 2006) from the Permanent Secretary at the DHSSPS to board and legacy trust chief executives requesting assurance in relation to the procedures in place within each trust to prevent abuse and to ensure that any incidents, which may arise, are dealt with properly.

This has been my first full year as Chairman, and it has been a year of landmark achievements. It’s encouraging to have so much progress to report in the current difficult economic climate as we continue to develop and further modernise our services. In Mental Health we have seen particular advances to aid clients to live in their own communities. Despite unprecedented pressures in the area of safeguarding children, I have been impressed by the diligence and commitment of staff in children’s services. We have opened the new £64m Downe Hospital, a state of the art enhanced local hospital which provides a wonderful environment for both patients and staff. Moving an entire hospital full of patients requires planning with military precision, and staff are to be commended for their professionalism in achieving the transition. The midwifery led maternity unit at the Downe opened some months later with three births in the first week, the first stand alone unit of its kind in Ireland.

  • The Ulster Medical Journal
    Supplement 3 November 1998 ISSN 0041-6193 THE ULSTER MEDICAL JOURNAL INDEX: VOLUMES 1 - 64 JS LOGAN, C McDONALD, E DORAN, JI LOGAN Published by THE ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY Cover picture: Richard Hunter, 1885-1970, painted by Sir James Gunn Reproduced by kind permission of The Queen’s University of Belfast and The National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland Ulster Medical Journal 1932 - 1995 This is the first index which the Journal has had. It is dedicated to the memory of Doctor Richard Hunter, the founder of the Journal, its first editor, and a valued contributor in its early days. Doctor Hunter, embryologist, anatomist and teacher, was in his time the inspiration of the pre-clinical students of the Queen’s University of Belfast, and of his graduate group in embryology. As was said of Boerhaave, those who knew him could not value him enough, and those who were so unfortunate as not to know him, could never know how much he was to be valued. The index has taken the four compilers some five years, intermittently as one phase of production succeeded another. What may be called the infrastructure lay in the archives office of the Royal Victoria Hospital. The office had been founded by Doctor RS Allison and carried on by him as archivist and Mrs EO Russell as secretary. A complete set of the Journal had been gathered in the office and it was prepared for binding. An early difficulty, not so minor, was the way the naming and numeration of the issues within a volume varied from time to time.

RQIA’s reviews and inspections are designed to identify best practice, to highlight gaps or shortfalls in services requiring improvement and to protect the public interest. Our Acute Hospital Inspections are carried out by a dedicated team of inspectors, from our Healthcare Team supported by lay assessors and peer reviewers from all trusts who have the relevant experience and knowledge. Our reports are available on the RQIA’s website at www.rqia.org.uk. RQIA wishes to thank those (including patients, their families and HSC staff) who facilitated this inspection through participating in interviews, or providing relevant information. Background In April 2014, the Minister for Health asked RQIA to put in place appropriate arrangements to deliver a rolling programme of unannounced inspections of the quality of services in acute hospitals in Northern Ireland to commence in 2015. In a statement to the Northern Ireland Assembly on 1 July 2014, the Minister indicated that the programme of inspections would focus on a selection of quality indicators that would not be pre-notified to the trusts. No advance warning is provided to trusts as to which sites, or services within a hospital, will be visited as part of an unannounced inspection.
