Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

Our last well-led inspection of the Trust was 11 December 2018- 17 January 2019. We inspected four core services delivered by the trust and completed a well-led inspection. We rated the trust as Good overall, and Good overall for the four core services.

This inspection visit took place between 7 January – 12 February 2020.

Between 7-9 January 2020 we inspected four mental health core services: 

• Acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units (PICUs) 

• Long stay or rehabilitation mental health wards for working age adults 

• Community-based mental health services for adults of working age 

• Mental health crisis services and health-based places of safety 

These core services were either selected due to their previous inspection ratings or our ongoing monitoring identified that an inspection at this time was appropriate to understand the quality of the service provided. 

We also looked at how well-led the Trust was between 11-12 February 2020. In order to ensure we have appropriate expertise to make a robust judgement about how well-led the trust is our inspection team comprised an executive reviewer (a board level leader from another organisation rated good or outstanding), two specialist advisors with expertise in governance and financial expertise. as well as CQC inspection team members. 

Our rating of the Trust stayed the same.
