We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at i-HEART 365 Service – Extended Hours on 14 November 2019 due to registration changes since the last inspection. The service, under their old registration had been rated as inadequate at an inspection in February 2018 but then as good during a follow-up inspection in November 2018.

At this inspection we found:

• The service had good systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When they did happen, the service learned from them and improved their processes.
• The service routinely reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence- based guidelines.
• Staff involved and treated people with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
• Patients were able to access care and treatment from the service within an appropriate timescale for their needs.
• There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
