The report recognised improvements including in maternity, end of life care, and regarding patients with mental health conditions at King’s College Hospital (Denmark Hill). However there are areas that require focused attention in terms of patient care, staff morale, and running our hospitals more effectively and efficiently.

The Havens
The CQC carried out a two-day announced inspection of The Havens sexual assault referral service in May 2019. The Havens are managed by King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

- the service was clean and well maintained
- staff treated patients with dignity, respect and compassion
- the service had a culture of continuous improvement
- staff felt involved and supported, and worked well as a team.
