Summary
We carried out an unannounced inspection to Rohallion Secure Care Clinic, NHS Tayside on Wednesday 24 May 2023.
During our inspection, we:
- inspected the ward and hospital environment
- observed staff practice and interactions with patients, such as during patient mealtimes
- spoke with patients, visitors and ward staff (where appropriate), and
- accessed patients’ health records, monitoring reports, policies and procedures.
Our findings
This inspection resulted in three areas of good practice, six requirements and one recommendation.
“The majority of wards were calm, clean and fresh smelling and patients said they were happy with the level of cleanliness. All staff demonstrated good knowledge of infection prevention and control. Areas for improvement include training, storage of clean linen and the ability to effectively clean contaminated care environments.”
