Inspectors praise acquired brain injury service in Glasgow

An acquired brain injury hospital in Glasgow has been praised for the quality of its care following an unannounced inspection by Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS).

Inspectors reporting on The Disabilities Trust owned, Graham Anderson House, found the service had good systems in place to monitor and improve the quality of its care.

HIS also acknowledged the service for its multidisciplinary-team approach to care provision, as well its involvement of service users in recruiting its staff.

Senior Inspector, Kevin Freeman-Ferguson, said: “Our inspection found good systems in place to monitor and improve the quality of care provided, and saw evidence that patients and families were involved in developing care plans.”

“Staff spoke positively about their work and patients told us they felt involved in the care they were receiving.”

Inspectors said the service could do better in discharge planning coordination as part of six recommendations for improvement.

The service is a specialist neurobehavioural assessment and post-acute rehabilitation hospital for people with a non-progressive acquired brain injury.
