We found the following examples of good practice. Training had been provided for all staff from the training department in addition to the regular infection prevention and control training. This took place when the pandemic was underway to ensure staff were skilled and knowledgeable in infection prevention and control.
Spot checks ensured that the management team were aware of staff practice and could highlight any concerns. This had highlighted good practice within the staff team.
The provider had a dedicated service manager who was responsible for interpreting and disseminating the latest research and government and Public Health England guidance. They also supported services with training and responding to queries.
We found a number of areas required repair so they could be effectively cleaned to minimise the risk of infection. The provider was extremely responsive to us and all maintenance, upgrades and deep cleans were completed in a timely way.
We were assured that this service met good infection prevention and control guidelines as a designated care setting.
