Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Akerman Medical Practice on 15 August 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed except for where sharps boxes were located.
Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour.
The areas where the provider should make improvement are:
Consider how best to engage and communicate with patients.
Ensure that there is a robust system in place for the reviewing of repeat prescriptions.
The practice should consider reviewing or carrying out a risk assessment of where sharp boxes are placed in consulting rooms.
The practice should review results from the national GP patient survey to improve patient experience.
