Working at Haldane House Nursing Home

Medication records have gaps and some old equipment was found, which means safety checks are not fully reliable yet.

We reviewed medication administration record (MAR) sheets, and we found some incomplete records such as gaps in MAR sheets... We found some expired equipment such as 8 syringes, 1 covid test, sample tubes, transwabs.

Not all staff have finished their basic safety training like first aid and moving people.

Not all staff had fully completed their training according to the topics such as practical session for first aid/basic life support, moving and handling.

Recruitment files are missing some checks on staff background, which could let in unsuitable workers.

Staff files did not always contain required information to demonstrate safety checks had been completed such as full employment history, health checks, evidence from previous employment regarding staff's conduct and verifying reasons for leaving.
