Focused inspection report - 16 February 2022
In May 2021 the CQC inspected our acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units.
The CQC rated these services as 'inadequate'
That rating improved to 'requires improvement' after a re-inspection in February 2022
Overall inspection results - 19 August 2021
The results of our most recent inspection were published on Thursday 19 August 2021
The Trust was rated as 'requires improvement' overall, improving from our previous overall rating of 'inadequate'.
When carrying out an inspection, the CQC asks if services are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Below is how we did for each of those priorities.

Focused inspection reports - 22 October 2020
The CQC published focused reports about the Trust on 22 October 2020 after unannounced inspections in August 2020.
The main reason for the CQC’s return in the August, following our inspection between January and February 2020, was to check we had met the requirements of the warning notice issued to SHSC in the Spring of that year.
The CQC lifted the warning notice, meaning that they found significant improvements and felt we were on track. They could see improvements but said there was still lots to do.
Getting Back to Good
We are committed to making real changes that will address the issues identified by the CQC and help us get our overall rating back to good.
And that's what we've named the improvement project set up to address the issues - 'Back to Good'.
This isn't going to be something that can be addressed overnight - it will take time to make lasting changes that are sustainable. As a Trust we are promising to be honest about the challenges we face.
