"Staff praised the manager's strong support and there's a positive culture, but gaps in medication records and agency use when sick hold it back."
Safety & Risk

In the majority of cases, there was accurate recording of the administration of medicines. However, we found examples of where some controlled medicines had not been recorded in line with current legislation... we also saw two examples of [opening dates] not taking place.
