Moorlands Neurological Centre

Patients were actively involved in their care and treatment plans and staff knew their individual needs well. Patient’s wishes and preferences were documented within the patient passport which was written in a format that was accessible and individual to their needs. Staff completed comprehensive assessments with input from a range of professionals within the multi-disciplinary team and developed care plans that were evidence based and in line with good practice. Outcomes were monitored and reviewed on a regular basis by relevant members of the team to ensure continuous improvement and development. Staff encouraged and supported people to live healthier lives by assessing, monitoring and reviewing physical health needs and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Staff understood their roles and responsibilities under the Mental Health Act, Mental Health Act Code of Practice and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Staff assessed and recorded capacity clearly for patients who might have impaired mental capacity.
