21st August 2012 - During a routine inspection
![]() We spoke to people who use the service when we visited. They told us the service was “Very good” and “Fine, no problems”. They all said they felt involved in their care and treatment and received plenty of good verbal information regarding their condition and treatment options. They were able to make choices about how often they received dialysis. They also told us they had seen written information in and around the unit and had been given a patient’s guide when they first started with their treatment. Those we spoke with told us they were treated with dignity and respect at all times. Other comments received included; “It’s excellent, they can’t do enough for you”, “Staff are very good and friendly”, “I am happy here, I would give them nine out of ten”. We looked at the results of the 2011 satisfaction survey undertaken annually, this told us the majority of patients surveyed had been told about how dialysis works and what to eat and drink for their condition.

Broadgreen Dialysis unit is operated by Fresenius Medical Care Renal Services Ltd. The unit has 22 dialysis stations. The service provides dialysis services for people over the age of 18, and does not provide treatment for children.
Patients were referred to the unit via the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital Trust.
We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out the announced part of the inspection on 19 June 2017, along with an unannounced visit to the unit on 26 June 2017.
To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Where we have a legal duty to do so we rate services’ performance against each key question as outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
Throughout the inspection, we took account of what people told us and how the provider understood and complied with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
We regulate dialysis services but we do not currently have a legal duty to rate them. We highlight good practice and issues that service providers need to improve and take regulatory action as necessary.
