During a routine inspection
We found that the provider had an effective system to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that patients received. Members of the senior management team told us about the roles of different staff and the structures in place to assess and manage risks. We found that systems were in place for reporting and responding to complaints. We also found that audits were completed.
We did not speak with patients during the inspection. However, we gathered information on the systems in place for obtaining their feedback. We found that the organisation used many different methods to seek the views of patients. This meant systems were in place for seeking feedback on the service from patients.
We found that systems were also in place for staff to provide feedback on the service. The four managers of different services in the community who we spoke with told us that staff meetings occurred on a regular basis. Staff felt they were listened to and that they could make a difference to the service.
