All Inspections

25 April 2013

During a routine inspection

During this review we spoke with three people who were undergoing treatment. People told us that they had been involved in making decisions about their treatment and were happy with the way their treatment had been carried out. The treatment records we looked at showed that people's treatment had been appropriately planned and recorded. Comments made to us by people who had used the service included 'Very good, they explained everything', 'Very thorough on everything', 'I'm quite happy with the treatment I've had' and 'They made me feel really comfortable, which is a big thing for me.'

Suitable arrangements were in place to handle medical emergencies if they arose. Procedures were also in place for the prevention and control of infection. For example, ensuring that equipment was decontaminated and sterilised. Staff were aware of recent changes to good practice guidance and had been trained in the prevention of infection and first aid. Staff support and training systems were in place and people told us that staff had always been pleasant and polite.

Appropriate arrangements were in place for gathering feedback from people who used the service and for dealing with complaints. This included asking people about their experiences and responding to complaints in an appropriate way. No one we spoke with had felt the need to raise any concerns or complaints.
