Statement of Purpose
This document sets out the Statement of Purpose for Fairfield Independent Hospital. It aims to meet the requirements in line with all the relevant legislation, namely the Health and Social Care Act 2008, and the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009, by outlining how we will fulfil our range of duties and responsibilities in meeting the needs of the communities we serve.
Introduction
Fairfield Independent Hospital has over 190 members of staff dedicated to our patients well being. All our staff have gained qualifications relevant to their roles, and we actively support and encourage their continuing education and development, so that we are able to provide consistently high quality treatment.
Over 100 consultants also choose to treat their patients at Fairfield Independent Hospital. Whilst working in partnership with the hospital staff to ensure high standards of care, consultants are independent contractors and are not employed by the hospital.
Our professional standards are monitored rigorously through audits, assessments by external bodies and various accreditations which include for example :
- ISO 9001-2008
- ISO 27001-2005
- British Safety Council (Health and Safety)
- Accreditations via our principle insurance companies
- Environmental Health 5* award
- Treatments You Can Trust
- Disability Two Ticks
- The Care Quality Commission
- Any Qualified Provider (NHS Provision )
The health care services provided at Fairfield Independent Hospital are open to all patients, whether covered by insurance, paying for themselves, or being treated as part of our contract with the NHS.
A copy of this Statement of Purpose is also available in large print from the personnel office.
Copies in additional languages can also be made available on request.
