Our view of the service

Community End of Life Care services for Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are based at The Hospice of the Good Shepherd in Backford, Cheshire. The trust is registered CQC to deliver the regulated activities: Treatment of disease, disorder or injury. This assessment was prompted due to the time since the last inspection of the service (2015). At the time of this assessment a wider review of services was also undertaken. We carried out this assessment on 11, 12 and 13 June 2024. We looked at quality statements in key questions safe, effective, responsive and well-led. The service remains re good in all these areas and we have rated the service good overall. During our assessment we found systems and processes were in place to ensure safe care and treatment was provided to end of life care patients. However, for well-led there was not fully effective oversight of risk. Action was being taken to address this at the time of the assessment.
