Clinical Governance and standards of practice
Patient reported outcomes
The Stoneygate Eye Hospital recognises the importance of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) as a way to monitor success in surgery. Results are closely monitored and analysed in conjunction with an array of clinical governance metrics and systems to ensure that we can provide our patients with the best possible treatment and outcomes. We submit our PROMs data to the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) to ensure we meet our obligations as a private healthcare provider.
Cleanliness and infections
- We only see and operate on patients with eye problems – you will not be coming in contact with patients with other diseases – reducing the risk of cross infections even further
- We use single use instruments were possible assuring very little risk of cross infections
- For surgery we give timed arrivals and departures with a minimal stay in the hospital
- Significant investment in new state of the art theatre and diagnostic equipment
- In addition to our own team of housekeepers we have an external specialised firm for the clinical areas who provide an independent audit of our cleanliness
- Staff receive regular training in cleanliness and infection control
- Our operating theatre is specially designed for eye surgery with laminar air flow, a state of the art air filter system, for all eye operations to minimise the risk of infection. This theatre is used only and exclusively for eye surgery thus reducing the risk even further. This is again maintained and audited by an external firm for transparency
The central plank of our practice is to provide the highest quality medical and surgical care set in an exclusive eye surgical centre. This is achieved through clinical excellence, sound clinical governance, transparent pathways with external auditing were possible.
