The location has not previously been inspected. This was a focused inspection to clarify the regulated activities that the service was delivering.
- We saw examples of when the managing director advised clinicians on the interpretation of the data from the continuous heart monitoring device.
- Staff were trained and competent for identified devices. Some were required to fit the wearable defibrillators, in hospital settings and signposted patients to appropriate support when needed.
- Evidence reviewed indicated that the service was supporting patients’ treatment pathways in ways that were consistent with a service that was carrying on activities that amounted to registrable regulated activities falling within the scope of registration..
