The hospital has a general surgery ward including 20 individual bedrooms, a physiotherapy department, ambulatory care facilities. The Outpatient department has several consultation and treatment rooms, a physiotherapy department with a gym, diagnostic imaging suite and an onsite pharmacy supporting both inpatient and outpatient services.
Due to the length of time since the last inspection, and concerns shared with us about culture at the hospital, we commenced a responsive assessment of surgery and outpatients. The on-site assessment was unannounced and was carried out between 10 and 12 December 2024. During the inspection, we spoke with staff, leaders, people who use the service and stakeholders. We looked at care records, policies and other documents relating to the service.
