To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Where we have a legal duty to do so, we rate the quality of services against each key question as outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate. Where necessary, we take action against service providers that break the regulations and help them to improve the quality of their services. What we inspected and why We undertook a comprehensive inspection at Manchester University NHS Trust. A comprehensive inspection is when we inspect all core services and all five key questions for each core service followed by an inspection of how well-led a provider is. We undertook a comprehensive inspection because this was a new trust which was established on 1 October 2017 following a merger of Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust. We inspected all 42 core services of the trust because this is a new organisation. What we found Overall trust We have not rated this service before. We rated it as good because: Are services safe?
