During a themed inspection looking at Offender Healthcare
A range of mental health services were provided to people in the prison. For example there were groups available for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, stress control and anxiety management. Waiting times were generally short.
During our inspection we observed that there was a positive relationship between different providers operating within the healthcare centre.
Staff received appropriate support through induction, training, supervision and appraisal.
The staff we spoke with told us that they felt the service was well led and responsive to any suggestions that were made. Staff attended regular meetings where they would discuss their current caseload and any concerns or suggestions they may have. We were told by staff that they felt respected by their manager and that any feedback they provided was taken seriously.
