14th February 2014 - During a routine inspection
![]() This was the first CQC inspection since the provider registered this service. At our inspection we spoke with six patients, two surgeons and an anaesthetist. We also reviewed four patient records and spoke with the provider’s management and administrative staff. All of the patients said they had signed consent to treatment forms. One patient said “The doctors and nurses explained everything thoroughly and I was then asked to sign a consent form”. The provider had a Consent Policy in place which included guidance for treating patients who lacked the mental capacity to give informed consent. Patients were complimentary about the care and treatment provided and the ease and speed of access. One patient said “They were very quick and very good”. Another patient said “They have been absolutely fantastic”. The provider had a safeguarding policy in place and staff said they received training in the safeguarding of vulnerable adults. Staff knew how to report concerns to the relevant authorities. The provider carried out appropriate checks before staff started work. These checks helped protect patients from the risk of unsafe practice or abuse. The provider had an effective quality monitoring system. Returned patient satisfaction questionnaires showed very high satisfaction levels with the staff, facilities and ease of access to the service.
