Bristol’s public services and university both win watchdog praise on same day
On 18 September, the University of Bristol was named South West University of the Year while South Western Ambulance Service received ‘good’ CQC ratings for five services, giving the region a rare double vote of confidence from two separate assessors.
The ambulance trust’s improved ratings cover Emergency and Urgent Care, the Emergency Operations Centres, Resilience, Urgent Care, and Patient Transport [2]. The university’s award was based on academic excellence, strong graduate prospects and growing global links [3].
