Our view of the service
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s community health in-patient service consists of 72 bed inpatient unit across 3 wards specialising in rehabilitation located at Lings Bar Hospital. There are three wards at the hospital: John Proctor ward, Castle ward and Forest ward. The service was last rated requires improvement (November 2022). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using key lines of enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We carried out our on-site assessment on 20 August 2024. During this assessment we visited John Proctor ward and Castle ward. 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 all quality statements across 1 key question; learning culture, safe systems pathways and transitions, safeguarding, involving people to manage risks, safe environments, safe and effective staffing, infection, prevention and control, medicines optimisation. As we assessed all the quality statements for the key question of Safe, the rating for this key question reflects the findings of this assessment. However, as we did not assess quality statements from the key questions; Effective, Responsive, Caring and Well led, which means we use the ratings from the previous inspection to rate these key questions. During this assessment we found a breach in regulation under safe staffing and under good governance.

Patients we spoke with felt safe on the wards and felt staff were supportive and kind. They felt involved in the development of their risk assessments and informed about discharge plans.
