| 2022-09-23 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Northfields received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because governance systems were not sufficiently robust to ensure safe and consistent care. Key concerns included gaps in documentation (particularly medicines records), care plans that were not regularly reviewed or detailed enough to guide staff safely, and a near miss medicines incident that was not properly reported. Whilst staff were caring and supportive, and infection control measures were adequate, the service's internal oversight systems failed to identify risks without external inspection. |
