flag Arrowe Park Hospital needs improvement in emergency and medical care due to staff and bed shortages, unsafe conditions, and delayed treatment.

flag A May 2025 inspection by the Care Quality Commission found Arrowe Park Hospital in Merseyside needs improvement in emergency and medical care, citing bed shortages, staff shortages, and unsafe patient treatment areas like corridors. flag Patients waited over 50 hours on trolleys, and some went 19 hours without medical review. flag High bed occupancy and insufficient qualified staff, especially in mandatory training, were major concerns. flag While staff were praised for compassion and leadership for integrity, systemic issues in patient flow and safety monitoring persisted. flag A new urgent care facility is nearing completion, and the trust is seeking NHS support to address challenges ahead of a demanding winter.
