Our view of the service

Priory Arnold is an inpatient acute and psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU), for males and females struggling with a wide range of mental health conditions. It consists of 8 male and 24 female acute beds and 10 male and 10 female PICU beds. Priory Arnold was last rated as inadequate (Published June 2023). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using key lines of enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We carried out our on-site assessment on 13 May, 14 May, 03 June and 04 June 2024. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. During this assessment we looked at all quality statements across all 5 key questions. As we assessed all quality statements at this visit it means the current rating reflects the findings from this assessment. At this assessment we found the service had made significant improvements within the environment, patients felt supported by staff and involved in their care and treatment, managers supported staff and appropriate processes were in place to ensure managers had oversight of the service.
