Our view of the service

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust acute wards for adults of working age are based at the Fulbourn Hospital in Cambridge, and the Cavell Centre in Peterborough. The trust operated a 3-3-3 pathway model of assessment, treatment and recovery. The model consists of three days of assessment, three weeks of treatment and three months of recovery. Each acute ward had a designated function, providing services for adults aged 18 years old and over. During this assessment the team visited all six acute wards. We did not visit the psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU). We looked at eight quality statements: learning culture, safeguarding, involving people to manage risks, safe environments, safe and effective staffing, delivering evidence-based care and treatment, Independence, choice and control and equity in experiences and outcomes. During our assessment, we found concerns around Mandatory training, supervision, appraisal and staffing levels which resulted in a breach of regulation 18 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The accuracy, timeliness and accessibility of patient information including risk assessments, care plans, handover notes and observation records which resulted in a breach of regulation 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. Maintenance and record keeping for some equipment which resulted in a breach of regulation 15 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. You can find more details of our concerns in the evidence category findings.
