Our view of the service

Date of assessment: 4 March 2025 to 13 March 2025. Potters Bar Clinic Limited is a mental health service provided by Elysium Healthcare.

This assessment was a responsive unannounced assessment of 2 acute wards for male and female adults of working age.

The service also had Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) for young people aged 13 to 18. However, for this inspection, we only inspected the acute wards.   We conducted our onsite assessment on 4 March 2025 where we assessed all quality statements from the safe and well led key questions. We found areas of good practice and areas of concern. The scores for the quality statements we covered were combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last inspection in 2019. We found 3 breaches of regulations. One breach was in relation to safe care and treatment; one breach was in relation to safeguarding and one breach was in relation to governance. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to our concerns.
