Fromeside in Bristol was inspected in July after concerns were raised to the Care Quality Commission.
An NHS mental health trust has been told its secure mental health wards "require improvement", following a Care Quality Commission inspection.
Although only Fromeside, which is based at Blackberry Hill Hospital, was inspected, the new rating covers all of the trust's forensic inpatient and secure services. People using the service also told inspectors that some temporary staff weren't always respectful towards them. Inspectors also found the clinic rooms to be too warm, meaning medication was not necessarily being stored in the optimal conditions.It was also found that patients did not always have access to regular and meaningful activities.The report also highlighted some improving areas at Fromeside.
