Priory Wellbeing Centre - Manchester

We rated this location as good because:

• The service provided mostly safe care and patients had recovery-oriented treatment plans informed by an assessment and in collaboration with families and carers. They provided a range of treatments that were informed by best practice guidance and suitable to the needs of the patients. The teams included or had access to a full range of specialists required to meet the needs of the patients.
• Staff treated patients with compassion and kindness. The service was easy to access, and staff assessed and treated patients who required urgent care promptly. The service was well led, and the governance processes ensured that that procedures relating to the work of the service ran smoothly.

However:

• We found when prescribing medications to adult patients diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), visiting consultants who were prescribing did not always complete physical health checks. This was not in line with Good Practice Guide for Consultants with Practicing Privileges at Priory and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance on prescribing medication for ADHD.
