Points to consider
Gaps in medicine safety like missing details in as-needed drug protocols and not always checking fridge temperatures
some of the information included in some of the protocols was not sufficient... Staff were not always measuring and recording the maximum and minimum refrigerator temperatures
Activities are regular and varied with a coordinator but no specialist programmes or innovative therapies
I can cook on a Friday with [the activities coordinator]. We have games, exercise and singers. I have my nails done... some staff felt there could be more excursions
Specialist training not fully up to date according to external experts
a specialist service told us they felt staff needed to engage with them closer to ensure specialist training was up to date
