Forest Dialysis Unit

This service was previously inspected and rated Good in 2024. This key question at this inspection has stayed the same.

We looked for evidence that people and communities had the best possible outcomes with their needs assessed. The service worked well across teams and services to support people. There was input from the local trust and there was a dedicated dietitian for the people who used services. The service monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it.

Blood results and other key performance indicators were regularly monitored and discussed to optimise patient outcomes. The service undertook a regular, monthly notes audit and identified areas of noncompliance.

However, the unit was still working to establish a system to record both onsite visits, patient specific visits and reviews.
