18th August 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Bere Regis Surgery on 18 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.
• 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.

We saw one area of outstanding practice:

The practice healthcare assistant (HCA) had identified 383 patients over the age of 75 years that were vulnerable and to date had carried out 170 assessments on the most vulnerable and isolated. These assessments were an evolving process and included identifying need in housing, physical health, mental health and social need and associated risks such as risk of falls or poor nutrition using a nationally recognised tool. The HCA liaised with dentists, opticians, housing departments and the practice GPs where areas of concern were identified.  The practice also worked closely with local organisations to provide social events and lunch clubs. This initiative had reduced the hospital admissions for this age group by 33%.
