Our view of the service

Date of inspection: 11 – 12 June 2025 

Battersea Bridge House provides acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units. 

We undertook this comprehensive inspection due to the aged rating and time that had lapsed since the previous inspection. We carried out a site visit to all three wards (Browning Ward, Blake Ward and Hardy Ward) on 11 and 12 June 2025. This was our first inspection of Battersea Bridge House Acute services, since it had changed its Assessment Service Group. We previously inspected Battersea Bridge Forensic Inpatient Secure Ward in October 2022.

The scores from the quality statements covered during this inspection have been combined and calculated. These calculate the new key question ratings. We rated acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units as good. 

During this inspection we found 6 breaches of the regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and good governance. We found several areas of good practice. There were enough staff to ensure patients’ safety and meet their needs. Patients were supported to have choice and control and could give feedback on their care. Staff developed and updated personalised care plans. Staff and leaders reported a supportive and open team culture.
