At the time of our inspection there were no consultations or surgical treatments taking place although we were able to speak with service users via the telephone and when they arrived at the clinic. To gain the views of people who used the service, we also read information the service had received from their patient satisfaction questionnaires.
We saw that the feedback was positive and demonstrated that people were satisfied with the standard of service they received. This was further evidenced by the comments from the two service users, which included, "Excellent, and "Super caring."
From the discussions we had with the service users and the care records we read, we concluded that people received appropriate information on their treatment options, were respected and fully involved in their care.
We found the standard of cleanliness to be good and infection control measures were in place.
We found that equipment was maintained and disposed of safely. The provider did not have an emergency plan, policy or procedure in the event of an electricity, water or gas failure.
Staff were trained and developed regularly and service users were treated and cared for by competent staff.
