This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

Overall the practice is rated as Good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• Patient Group Directives (PGDs) were up to date and current.

• Appropriate checks were undertaken to ensure vaccines are always stored in line with manufacturers’ guidelines.

• The nursing roles were clearly defined.

However, there were also areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.

• Improvements were needed in how patients who were carers were identified and recorded.
