It’s very disappointing to see concerns raised about the Jessop Wing, particularly when this comes from a Trust which previously had an outstanding rating.
The potential impact on patient safety is very worrying and it’s hoped that the Trust is taking all possible steps to ensure that the Jessops Wing is a safe place for patients.

What Happens Next?
The CQC has said it will continue monitoring Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust “extremely closely” and expects them to “continue to make rapid improvements”.
Sarah Dronsfield, head of hospital inspection at the CQC, said: “The trust leadership team know what they must do to improve patient safety and we will re-inspect to ensure this happens, taking further action if needed to protect patients.”
Kirsten Major, chief executive of the Trust, has assured women coming into the Jessop Wing to have their babies that its maternity teams “work incredibly hard every day to ensure their care is always the number one priority”.
She added that it has “wasted no time” in responding to the CQC’s recommendations.
