Updated 18 April 2018

We inspected Oxford ADHD Centre on 21 March 2018. An inspector undertook the inspection.

We looked at records related to patient assessments and the provision of care and treatment. We also reviewed documentation related to the management of the service.

In November 2017 we undertook an announced comprehensive inspection at Oxford ADHD Centre. We found the service was providing effective, caring, responsive and well-led services but there were improvements required in providing safe services. Following the inspection we issued a requirement notice.

We carried out an announced focussed follow up inspection on 21 March 2018 to check whether the required improvements had been made. We found necessary changes had been made to ensure the service was providing safe services.

The report from the November 2017 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Oxford ADHD Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

Our key findings were:

• Risks associated with the provision of services were well managed.
• The potential risks posed by medical emergencies had been assessed and action taken to ensure staff were prepared for a medical emergency.
• Prescribing was undertaken safely, including the process for initialising patients on medicines.
