HMP Hewell is a prison holding up to 1300 men across two main sites, including some held in open conditions. Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust provide a range of healthcare services to prisoners, comparable to those found in the wider community. This includes GP, dental, pharmacy and mental health services. The location is registered to provide the regulated activities of, diagnostic and screening procedures, surgical procedures and treatment of disease, disorder or injury. We did not visit the 18 bed inpatient unit during this inspection. This inspection focussed on the areas of concern that had been raised with the Care Quality Commission.
