Liverpool Women’s Maternity services rated Good by CQC

Maternity services at Liverpool Women’s University Hospital have been rated Good by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), improving on the previous rating of Requires Improvement.

This Good rating follows an unannounced inspection which took place in April 2025 and inspectors rated the service Good for being Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well Led.

CQC inspectors highlighted how staff demonstrated kindness and compassion when delivering care and that care and treatment was centred around the people who used the service and their needs. Leaders promoted a positive work culture and staff felt respected, supported and valued.

Jenny Hannon, Executive Managing Director of Liverpool Women’s University Hospital, said: “We are incredibly proud of our teams, improving their rating from Requires Improvement to Good is a fantastic achievement which reflects their hard work and commitment to delivering the best possible care to our patients and their families. I’m particularly pleased that inspectors highlighted the good teamwork they observed and that care was centred around the needs of our patients.”
