Report from 1 November 2024 assessment

Well-led

Good

Updated 1 November 2024

There were up to date polices in place for staff to refer to. However, these were not followed consistently. Monthly falls audits were not conducted and not all staff we aware of this requirement. When falls audits had been conducted by the hospital's falls prevention team these were not always dated or completed fully. Therefore we were not assured that actions required to reduce the risks of falls could be identified promptly. Staff knew how to assess peoples care needs and mitigate risks. There were effective processes in place to report and learn from incidents.
