Our view of the service
St Luke’s Hospital provides general medicine wards for adults as well as rehabilitation and therapy services. The hospital also provides outpatient services for adults and children. The Medicine (including older peoples care) Assessment Service Group (ASG); Outpatients and diagnostic imaging ASG at St Luke's was last inspected as part of a follow-up inspection of the trust on 11-13 January 2016 in response to a previous inspection conducted as part of our comprehensive inspection programme of the Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in October 2014. Medical care (including older people’s care) was rated as good. We received a number of anonymous whistle blowing concerns regarding safe care and treatment within the assessment service group for Medicine. We undertook an unannounced, responsive, focused inspection. We assessed key questions in safe, effective and well led.
People's experience of this service
During the assessment we spoke to several patients on two wards on the St. Luke's Hospital Site including care of the elderly. No concerns were raised, and we observed compassionate care and treatment. Patients we spoke to told us they felt included in their care planning. Patients we spoke with were positive about their experience and interactions with staff, they told us they felt confident and comfortable to raise concerns, though none of the patients we spoke with had needed to raise concerns during their stay. Friends and family feedback was reviewed which was positive overall and there was evidence of actions taken by the Trust to improve following feedback.
