Our view of the service
Date of Assessment: 16 to 17 December 2024. This was a scheduled assessment to review the trust compliance with the urgent enforcement action we took in April 2024. Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provide acute wards for working age adults for people in Derbyshire at the Hartington Unit and Radbourne Unit. This service was last inspected in March 2024 and was required to take urgent action to as the Commission believed a person will or may be exposed to the risk of harm if we did not do so. We imposed the following condition on the trust’s registration at the Radbourne Unit: • The Registered Provider must not admit any new service users to Radbourne Unit, Ward 33 and 35 without the written permission of the Care Quality Commission. • The Registered Provider must immediately reduce risks within the physical environment. • The Registered Provider must devise and implement an effective system to • ensure that all service user risk management plans are in place, accurate effective, reviewed as appropriate and updated regularly. • The Registered Provider must provide a report to CQC on 19 May 2023 by • 10am and on the Friday of each week thereafter by 10am setting out the steps and progress undertaken to implement the actions as detailed in the above conditions. The service had made significant improvements and is no longer in breach of regulations. The risk or potential risk to people is no longer a concern. We have rated the service as good and removed the conditions on the providers registration. Staff now assessed and mitigated risk within the ward environment and individual patients had accurate and effective risk management plans in place. Patients felt safe, supported and involved in their care and outcomes for patients had improved. Governance process had been redeveloped, effective in identifying risks and audits were completed to make positive changes in practice and learn lessons from incidents and address feedback from stakeholders.
