How we inspected this service

Prior to the inspection we reviewed information about the service, including the previous inspection report and information from the provider. We spoke to the manager. We also spoke to the provider’s clinical compliance manager and one doctor. We also reviewed a range of documents. We received seven comment cards. To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we always ask the following five questions:

  • Is it safe?
  • Is it effective?
  • Is it caring?
  • Is it responsive to people’s needs?
  • Is it well-led?

These questions therefore formed the framework for the areas we looked at during the inspection
