How we inspected this service
This inspection was carried out in a way which enabled us to spend a minimum amount of time on site. We gathered and reviewed information before the inspection by asking the provider to send us a provider information return (PIR) and conducting staff interviews using video conferencing.
We then conducted a short site visit to the administration's main address and clinical site separately. We reviewed samples of client records and observed the service being provided.
To get to the heart of clients’ experiences of care and treatment, we always ask the following five questions:
- Is it safe?
- Is it effective?
- Is it caring?
- Is it responsive to people’s needs?
- Is it well-led?
These questions, therefore, formed the framework for the areas we looked at during the inspection.
