CQC inspection reports published
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust has today responded to the publication of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection report.
The Trust was inspected by the CQC from June- July 2025 when a number of its services were inspected, including a Well-Led review in October 2025.
The inspection reports highlighted many areas of good practice and praised staff for their respect, kindness and compassion. However, the CQC also highlighted significant pressures on staff, delays accessing services and the need for improvements related to culture.
Jane Bailey, the Trust Chair, who was appointed last summer and Ade Odunlade, the Trust’s Interim Chief Executive since December 2025, said:
“The CQC inspection feedback we have received is invaluable in helping to guide us on our journey of improvement.
“As an organisation we will be focussing on the areas where we can do better and building on the things we are doing well. We will continue to work closely with our Board, directorate and service leaders to update our action plans, which we have already begun work on as part of the 2026 Roadmap, Five Foundations.
“We thank our colleagues for their continued focus on our patients, service users and carers who are at the heart of all we do, and for their commitment to improving the care and services we provide”.
The full reports can be found on the CQC website.
