8th March 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

The practice is rated good overall and good for providing safe services.

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 25 February 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good. However, a breach of legal requirements was found during that inspection within the safe domain. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice sent us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements. We conducted a focused inspection on 8 March 2017 to check that the provider had followed their action plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

During our previous inspection on 25 February 2016 we found the following area where the practice must improve:

  • Establish arrangements for the safe management of medicines within the practice.

Our previous report also highlighted the following areas where the practice should improve:

  • The practice should continue to improve their appointments system and look at ways of improving the emergency appointments system to include seeking advice from outside of the practice.

  • Ensure the registered manager is correctly registered with CQC.

  • Review their policy for recruitment checks and ensure this is adhered to.

During the inspection on 8 March 2017 we found:

  • Arrangements were in place for the safe management of medicines within the practice.

We also found the following in relation to the areas where the practice should improve:

  • The practice was taking steps to improve the appointments system. There was now a duty team with an established nurse practitioner service, which increased the availability of emergency appointments. Patients were also able to book appointments up to six weeks in advance.

  • The practice had submitted the relevant forms to ensure the registered manager is correctly registered with CQC.

  • The practice had reviewed and updated their policy for recruitment checks. There was a checklist detailing the documents and checks required prior the employment a new staff member.
