We assessed 1 quality statement for this key question.

We found that processes were in place to improve care plans for long-term health conditions, however, care plans and six-week reviews for some patients still required improvements.

The judgement for Assessing needs is based on the latest evidence we assessed for the Effective key question.

Staff had not consistently developed care plans that met patients’ individual physical health needs.

At the last assessment we saw improvement with management of long-term conditions, compared to the previous inspection, although there was still work to be done. During this inspection, we found further improvement had been made and that the long-term conditions care plans for some patients were thorough and clear for the patient.Managers and staff had made further positive progress and staff continued to be upskilled in this area. A highly skilled long-term conditions nurse continued to work at HMP Rochester on a temporary basis to meet with patients, support staff, and provide oversight with the management of long-term conditions. However, we found that not all patients had a comprehensive plan in place and some patients had not been reviewed for their long-termcondition 6 weeks after arriving at HMP Rochester and in line with trust policy. Overall, we noted continued improvement in this area.
