We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Osprey House on 4 February 2019 as part of our inspection programme.

At this inspection we found:

  • The service had systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When they did happen, the service learned from them and improved their processes.
  • The service routinely reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence-based guidelines.
  • Staff involved and treated people with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
  • Patients were mostly able to access advice care and treatment from the service within an appropriate timescale for their needs. At times when service demand was high regional escalation plans were implemented and external organisations keep abreast of performance and risk.
  • There was a focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
