Health inspectors say more needs to be done, including tackling racist behaviour towards staff.
Local Democracy Reporting ServiceWeston General Hospital has been upgraded from its "inadequate" rating by the Care Quality Commission .
The CQC rated the hospital 'requires improvement' after an inspection in August, up from inadequate - the lowest the health regulator can give.The hospital's surgical unit and identification of blood clot risks were areas where improvement was found to be needed. Concerns were also raised about racist behaviour towards staff, highlighted as a priority to hospital leadership, theBut the report also found that staff provided good care, treated patients with kindness, and that the Weston General's leaders had the skills to run the hospital well and were making improvements.
Chief executive of the NHS trust that runs the hospital, Eugine Yafele, said: "I absolutely want to congratulate the team at Weston on getting the hospital to be on a firm footing of recovery and improvement."Mr Yafele added: "What this also highlights is there is a steely determination, because the people who have done this are people at Weston, and actually 'requires improvement' is the start.
"Now, that may manifest itself - in CQC function and how they process things - as inadequate to our eye but there has been a major improvement in the quality of care being able to be offered there."
