Summary

We carried out an unannounced inspection to Cleland Hospital, NHS Lanarkshire on Tuesday 14 January 2025 using our safe delivery of care inspection methodology. We inspected the following areas:

  • Parkside North
  • Parkside South

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, and ward staff
  • accessed patients’ health records, monitoring reports, policies and procedures

Our findings

This inspection resulted in six areas of good practice, 11 requirements and five recommendations.

“Wards were settled and calm and patients appeared well cared for and comfortable. Care plans were comprehensive and risk assessments were in place.”
