All Inspections

19 March 2013

During a routine inspection

We looked at how the service gained the consent of people to be supported. We were told consent of individuals was recorded on patient record forms. We looked at forms for the previous month and saw evidence staff had obtained the consent of people to assist them.

We looked at how the health and welfare of the people was supported by the service. We looked at people's records and saw details of any interventions made by staff were recorded.

We looked at the way the service protected the people it supports. The service had a safeguarding policy which provided information on the types of abuse people could experience as well as a reporting procedure in place for concerns to be raised.

People were cared for in a clean, hygienic environment. Each ambulance was subject to rigorous and regular cleaning and inspection regimes. A vehicle cleanliness audit was recorded after each use. We examined one ambulance and found it to be clean and well-equipped.
