We returned to Perth Royal Infirmary in February 2026 to carry out an unannounced follow-up inspection. We assessed progress on NHS Tayside’s improvement action plan from the last inspection.
During our follow-up inspection, we revisited several of the areas previously inspected to provide assurance of improvement within these areas. We also included a broad range of specialties to help us to understand the extent of any wider improvements across the hospital.
We inspected the following areas:
- accident and emergency department
- ward 1
- ward 3
- ward 6
- ward 7
- ward 8
- Tay ward
- stroke unit
Our findings
The follow up inspection resulted in one recommendation, six new or updated requirements, and one requirement carried forward.
