All Inspections

8 November 2012

During a routine inspection

We spoke with five people who were using the service, and read the written testimony of a further 10 people during our inspection. We found that people were very satisfied with the service and treatment they had received at the Louise Lorne Clinic, and shared with us the ways the treatment had improved their health and well being. Comments from people included, "I have found it really, really good. The treatment has given me my life back," and "Excellent service."

We found that people were given a range of information that would help them decide if the treatment offered at the clinic was suitable for them.

Evidence showed that people were receiving treatment that was having a positive effect. People told us,"I feel like me again" and "After years of feeling terrible I now feel alive." We saw records that showed people had been assessed, treated and reviewed.

People using the clinic had all been referred by their family Doctor or consultant. We saw communication was sent back to these Doctors to ensure they were always fully aware of the treatment prescribed by the clinic.

The safe handling of medicines was assessed by a pharmacist inspector. There were no medicines stored at this location.

We found a number of effective systems were in place to check on the quality of the service.
