Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2015-06-11Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementAllied Healthcare - Newcastle received a 'Requires improvement' rating because of continuing serious failures in medicine management that were not resolved from the previous inspection, alongside broader leadership issues that failed to identify these problems. Whilst the service demonstrated good caring practices, effective staff training, and responsive person-centred care, the unsafe handling and recording of medicines posed a significant risk to people using the service.
