30th July 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of Blessing Medical Centre on the 11 March 2015. The practice was rated as requires improvement for providing safe care. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice submitted an action plan, outlining what they would do to ensure the care they provided was effective and met the standard required by CQC.

We undertook this focussed inspection on 30 July 2016 to check that the practice had followed their plan and to confirm that they were now providing safe care. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also where additional improvements have been made following the initial inspection. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Blessing Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

Overall the practice was rated as Good.

Following the focussed inspection we found the practice to be good for providing safe care.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

• All staff have received adult safeguarding training.

• All staff that act as chaperones had received chaperone training.

• All staff had been Disclosure and Barring Service checked. (DBS checks identify whether a person has a criminal record or is on an official list of people barred from working in roles where they may have contact with children or adults who may be vulnerable).

• Patient Group Directions had been adopted by the practice and all were signed by the GP.

• The practice nurse had attended Mental Capacity Act and Gillick competency training.

• The nurse carried out weekly checks to the automated external defibrillator and these were all documented.
