At Candour Care St Helens, we are thrilled to announce that we have achieved ‘excellent’ ratings in our recent PAMMS (Provider Assurance and Management System) inspection. This achievement not only reflects our commitment to providing the highest standards of care but also underscores our dedication to continuous improvement and transparency in our services.
What is PAMMS?
PAMMS is a comprehensive assessment framework designed to ensure that care providers meet essential quality standards. Developed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and used across various health and social care settings, PAMMS evaluates providers on a range of criteria, including:
- Service Delivery: How well services are planned, provided, and adapted to meet the needs of individuals.
- Safety and Effectiveness: Assessing whether care is delivered in a safe environment and leads to positive outcomes for service users.
- Well-Led: Evaluating the leadership and management of the organization, ensuring a culture of openness and accountability.
- Involvement and Empowerment: Focusing on how well we engage with our service users and their families, ensuring their voices are heard and respected.
The PAMMS inspection process involves rigorous scrutiny by trained inspectors who gather evidence through interviews, observations, and reviews of documentation. Achieving an ‘excellent’ rating means we have not only met but exceeded the expectations set forth by these standards.
