Our view of the service
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 5 August 2025.
We found the service had met regulations.
The service mostly had effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
Staff provided care and treatment in line with current guidance. They treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
However, improvements should be made to the system for liaising with the building maintenance company to ensure effective oversight of the safety of the premises.
Improvements should be made to the recruitment procedures.
Staff provided care and treatment in line with current guidance. They treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
