The full comprehensive report on the August 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Atrium Health centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 15 February 2017 to assess the dispensary service. This report covers our findings in relation to our inspection on the 15 February 2017.

Overall the practice remains rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• In relation to the dispensary risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
• Blank prescription forms and pads were securely stored at the branch practice and there were systems in place to monitor their use.
• Systems were in place to deal with any medicines alerts or recalls, and records were kept of any actions taken in the dispensary.

However, there were areas of practice where the provider should make improvement:

• Ensure the dispensary systems are in place, such as risk assessment of security of medicines and a full audit trail and DBS check processes completed for the delivery service.
