Castle Vale Renal Unit

The service had a good learning culture and people could raise concerns. Managers investigated incidents thoroughly. People were protected and kept safe. Staff understood and managed risks. Equipment met the needs of people, and facilities were clean and well-maintained. There were effective health and safety and fire safety preventative actions. However, the fire safety risk assessment had not been reviewed, therefore it was not clear that all fire safety risks were up to date. There were enough staff with the right skills, qualifications and experience. Managers made sure staff received training and regular appraisals to maintain high-quality care. Staff managed medicines well and involved people in planning any changes. 

As this is a single-site service, the summary here is replicated below in the dialysis service report.
