27th November 2012 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

During the inspection we visited Bevan House, the trust headquaters, responsible for the management of all divisions. We also chose to visit one service in the Ashton, Leigh and Wigan division. We were able to review data about the quality of care and service provision across the trust, observe treatments and speak with patients and staff.

Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Trust had undertaken a number of patient experience surveys across the services they provided. District nursing patient surveys and podiatry surveys were carried out in September 2012. Four Divisions (excluding the dental division) participated in the survey.

We received very positive comments from patients during the inspection. These included: “X always pull’s the curtains around when treating me, I always feel that my privacy and confidentiality is respected”, “The nurses are very good", “The staff always close the curtains around me, they are very respectful, “I have no problems with staff at all, I have the utmost respect for the staff, the vast majority of the NHS are fantastic, they are just run off their feet and could do with more nurses".

We observed that throughout the clinic visited, the staff treated patients and their relatives in a professional but friendly manner. We noted positive interactions and examples of good practice in supporting patient’s privacy and rights. When more sensitive information was being obtained, this was done in a caring and understanding way.

Our rating of this service improved. We rated it as good because:

  • Following the last inspection, emergency equipment was available in both locations where midwifery was provided.
  • Staff had completed mandatory training and specific skills and drills for this service. Since the last inspection, midwives spent 22.5 hours annually in the maternity unit of the neighbouring NHS trust.
  • Since the last inspection, a safeguarding midwife has been employed. Staff had received safeguarding training updates and understood how to keep patients safe.
  • Areas we visited were visibly clean.
  • There were sufficient numbers of midwifery staff to meet the needs of the service.
  • Patient records were completed appropriately by all staff. Since the last inspection, Digi pens were no longer used.
  • Staff understood how to report incidents and received feedback. Since the last inspection, trends were identified and lessons learned and shared.
  • Staff followed national guidance and monitored the service.
  • Staff were appraised and supported by senior staff. Following the last inspection, Professional Midwifery Advocates had been trained and were awaiting direction form the regional network re implementation.
  • Patients were supported by staff with individualised care. Since the last inspection, there were processes to refer women, to neighbouring trusts for support with a mental health need.
  • Since the last inspection, the clinic at Halton hospital had been reorganised so that consultations were mainly in a room rather than in bays with privacy curtains.
  • There was an open and transparent culture with clear supportive leadership.
  • The service followed the wider regional network strategy.
  • Following the last inspection, the service worked with a neighbouring hospital trust being part of the maternity voices programme where meetings were held with staff and women who used the service.

However:

  • In both areas emergency bags included some equipment that was overdue for servicing, as recorded on the sticker attached and there was extra birthing, rather than emergency items not on the checklist. This was addressed during the inspection.
  • Medicines which required to be kept at a certain temperature were stored in emergency bags but there was no date when the medicine was removed from the fridge. This was addressed during the inspection.
  • Fridge temperature checks, at Widnes had been recording as exceeding the maximum range for at least four months.
