Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2022-05-05InadequatenewUnratedInadequateButterwick Hospice received an Inadequate rating because it lacked effective systems to assess, monitor and manage risks to patient safety, had no clearly defined purpose or policies for its home care service, and demonstrated significant gaps in staff training and governance oversight. Whilst staff were caring and compassionate, and patients were satisfied with their interactions, these strengths could not compensate for the serious systemic failures in safety and leadership that resulted in a Warning Notice being served.
