30th July 2013 - During a routine inspection
During our visit we spent time in the Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) and Audiology department. There were no ENT appointments on the day of our visit or for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans. MRI scans were only performed at the location on an adhoc basis when required. For ENT patients, the service was run by GP with Specialist Interest (GPwSI) with the support of ENT specialists. Nurse Practitioner Aural Care Clinics were also offered. Having been assessed most patients were managed within the service where possible. We saw on the day of our visit that appointments were arranged to accommodate patients who needed to see the nurse practitioner and then attend the audiology clinic. We spoke with three patients, and one relative, who attended the ENT and Audiology department. All patients were pleased with the service they received and said the staff were excellent. They told us they had no reason to complain and felt the staff were all very pleasant and complimented the service they had received. Patient’s privacy, dignity and independence were respected. They experienced care, treatment and support that met their needs and protected their rights. Patients were protected from the risk of infection because appropriate guidance had been followed. They were cared for, or supported by, suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff. The provider had an effective system to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that people received.
