How we inspected this service

Before visiting we reviewed a range of information we hold about the service and information which was provided by the service before the inspection.

During the inspection:

• we spoke with the provider/clinician

• reviewed key documents which support the governance and delivery of the service

• made observations about the areas the service was delivered from

• reviewed a sample of treatment records

• looked at information the service used to deliver care and treatment plans

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.
