Our view of the service
Date of assessment: 5 November 2024 Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s forensic in-patient service consists of 3 locations including The Wells Road Centre, Wathwood Hospital and Arnold Lodge. During this assessment, we carried out an onsite assessment of 3 wards at Arnold Lodge; including Cannock ward, Thorton ward and Coniston ward. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We have completed 2 assessments at this location using our new approach and therefore its overall rating is a combination of the new and old methodology. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. During this assessment we looked at 4 quality statements across 1 key question: Treating people as individuals, Independence, choice and control, Responding to people’s immediate needs, Workforce wellbeing and enablement. As we have now assessed all the quality statements for the key question of Caring, the rating for this key question reflects the findings of this assessment. However, as we did not assess enough quality statements from the key questions; Safe, Effective, Responsive, and Well led, which means we use the ratings from the previous inspection to rate these key questions.
People's experience of this service
During this assessment we spoke with 9 patients and reviewed 6 patient care and treatment records. Patients told us staff understood their individual needs and they felt safe on the wards. Staff were always available to support patients and supported them with daily tasks. Staff encouraged and supported patients with additional needs to partake in activities. Patients were involved in their care and treatment and had an active voice in their ward rounds, where they were able to voice their opinion on their care and treatment and their preferences. Care records we reviewed reflected the patient voice.
