All Inspections

27 February 2013

During a routine inspection

During this unannounced, scheduled inspection, we spoke to staff and looked at records, policies and procedures and toured the building.

People were supported to understand the care they received and were able to express their views and choices. On this inspection, we were unable to speak to people who use the service. However, quality assurance and feedback summaries we saw showed that people were happy with their consultations and the quality of care and treatment they received.

Care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way that was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare and everyone had individual care plans based on their needs and wishes. Staff had a good understanding of people's needs and worked to meet them.

People were kept safe from the risk of abuse through safe practices, policies and procedures. Staff understood the nature and potential for abuse and were trained to report concerns if they had them. We did not see any evidence of safeguarding concerns and clinical risks were professionally managed.

Staff were properly trained and supported in their roles and the provider had systems in place to monitor the quality of the service.

19 October 2011

During a routine inspection

We were unable to speak to people who use services on this occasion. However we observed patients being treated with respect by staff. We gathered evidence from the clinic's quality assurance audits where questionnaires were received from people that used the service between January 2011 to September 2011 was noted. Feedback from patients showed that people were extremely happy with the consultation received and the support provided to them. They were fully involved in their decision for treatment and all areas of risk and choices available to them were discussed at the consultation.
