Queen Mary’s Hospital is in Roehampton, and South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust provides the three inpatient wards that we visited as part of this inspection.

We found that the services were safe, the wards were clean and staff were aware of risks. There were ways to report and learn from incidents, but improvements were needed in assessing and managing risks to people's safety.

Staff interacted with people who used the service in caring and compassionate . People and their relatives were involved in planning their care, although records did not always reflect this. People were engaged in activities they felt were meaningful and therapeutic. Ward staff listened to people’s feedback and involved them in making positive changes.

Staff often did not have direct access to specialist training. However, they responded to people’s needs by engaging other services and working in collaboration with specialist teams.

The hospital worked well with the general hospital (which is on the same site) regarding people's physical health needs.
