In our assessment of urgent and emergency care services we found there were processes to manage patient risk. There was a positive learning safety culture where events were investigated and learning was shared and embedded. The service planned and delivered people's care and treatment in line with legislation and current evidence-based good practice and standards. The service treated people with kindness, empathy and compassion, however people's privacy and dignity was sometimes compromised due to high capacity. The service made sure people were at the centre of their care and treatment choices. However, due to flow challenges, people did not always have access to care when they needed it. Leaders ran services effectively using best practice systems and supported staff to develop their skills.
In our assessment of medical care services we found the service had a proactive and positive culture of safety. Staff delivered good care and treatment following evidence-based practice and people had good outcomes. The service was exceptional at treating people with kindness, empathy and compassion and respected people's privacy and dignity. Staff treated colleagues from other organisations with respect. People could access care and treatment when they needed it. The leadership embodied the culture and values of their workforce and empowered staff to lead changes.
