A Nottinghamshire mental health hospital has remained in special measures after inspectors raised concerns with medication errors and restraint methods. Priory Hospital East Midlands retained its rating of inadequate rating after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) visited its premises off Mansfield Road in Annesley on August 30.
The health watchdog found 11 medication errors in a review of the hospital's incident forms, and found the use of a "five man lift" in a patient's care record. A spokesman for Priory Hospital said a new manager and action plan had been put in place.
The hospital, run by Priory Healthcare Ltd, provides care and treatment on wards for adults of working age, as well as psychiatric intensive care units and secure wards for females. The CQC carried out the latest unannounced inspection after "receiving concerning information about the safety and quality of the service".
