Investigation reports

We recommended that the Hospice should review staff training on clear communication with patients and their carers, following our investigation into a complaint by the parents of a child in its care.

An investigation into the care of a patient in Antrim Care Home found failings relating to the administration and recording of medicines, and in the way it responded to the patient’s panic attack.

An investigation has concluded that the care plans prepared for a resident of a nursing home in Armagh were largely adequate, but that it had underestimated the resident’s risk of a fall, and that it was inconsistent in its assessment of his mental state.
