Spire Hartswood Hospital awarded prestigious CAP Platinum Award for Housekeeping
02 April 2025
Spire Hartswood Hospital has been awarded a CAP Platinum Award for Housekeeping following the latest unannounced assessment.
An independent assessor from the CAP Award Programme (Continuous Advancement Programme for housekeeping) visited the Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood, Essex, earlier this year to audit the housekeeping services.
The aim of the assessment is to experience the service being received by the patients, staff, visitors and consultants. The hospital’s housekeeping team passed with flying colours and were awarded the Platinum Award by CAP – a programme regarded as the highest measure of quality in ‘safe best practices’ and services.
Spire Hartswood’s housekeeping team has been commended for this achievement and their dedication to providing the very best in patient well-being. The hospital must have achieved the CAP Gold Award for 3 consecutive years to qualify for the Platinum Award and receiving this is an extraordinary achievement for the whole Hospital.
The CAP Platinum Award is a welcome addition to the hospital’s excellent healthcare record and its achievements in the fields of patient care. The award has also demonstrated the importance that the hospital and Spire Healthcare places on the well-being of patients, staff, visitors and consultants.
CAP Programme, said: “The Housekeeping team perform a vitally important role at the hospital in terms of patient well-being. Their attention to detail was impressive and the supporting systems and evidencing of works completed by the actual Housekeepers was exceptional.”
Richard Coggings, Hospital Director at Spire Hartswood Hospital, said: “I am delighted that Spire Hartswood Hospital has received a Platinum CAP Award for our Housekeeping Services. I am so proud of our housekeeping team who have built on their CAP Gold standing, to now achieve Platinum status. They have demonstrated focused improvement and consistency, ensuring our hospital has outstanding cleanliness at all times.”
