Inspectors found problems with managing safety risks, responding to concerns and tackling bullying and discrimination against staff.
They also raised concerns about maternity, surgery and emergency care, as well as the condition of some hospital buildings.
However, the trust was praised for working with other organisations and reducing waiting times and hospital admissions.
Chinyama Okunuga, Site Chief Executive Officer, said: “The CQC recognised what we see every day – colleagues working incredibly hard to provide compassionate care, often in challenging circumstances.
“But the report also makes clear where we need to improve. We accept these findings and are taking action to strengthen how we identify and respond to risks, tackle inequalities and make sure every colleague feels supported.
“Our focus is on turning these improvements into a better experience for every patient and colleague.”
