All Inspections

29 January 2014

During a routine inspection

People told us that they were cared for in a kind and compassionate way by staff. One person said, 'This is a wonderful hospital. The food is good, the girls are kind and so is the manager.' We found that people were cared for safely in the ward area at Newmarket Hospital and in community services provided by therapists and nursing teams. There were appropriate assessments made of people's needs. Care was provided based also on any risks identified such as risk of falling or developing a pressure sore.

The service had clear systems of checking the quality of care; this was reported to managers who supported staff in maintaining good quality of care and making improvements that were identified. There were robust systems to deal with complaints to people's satisfaction and to learn from complaints or other issues raised by monitoring reports.

We saw that staff had training in all key issues such as safeguarding and dealing with emergencies. There were good communication systems such as regular staff meetings and newsletters to ensure staff were informed of changes to policies and procedures or service improvements.
