This inspection was an announced follow up inspection carried out on 15 December 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulation that we identified in our previous inspection on 8 September 2017. This report includes our findings in relation to those requirements.

Overall the practice is now rated as good for providing services and the requirement notice has been met.

The practice had made significant improvements and addressed the issues identified in the previous inspection. The practice engaged all staff in driving forward improvements.

Improvements included:

• An improved system to review and act on any patient safety and drug alerts.
• A new system to make sure there was an authorisation process for practice nurses to administer vaccinations.
• An improved monitoring system for uncollected prescriptions.
• A system to review any abnormal screening checks for patients.
• A system to record actions taken from any incidents.
• Oxygen was available for medical emergencies.
• An improved system for monitoring fridge temperatures for the storage of vaccinations.

All staff had been made aware of the new systems in place.

In addition:-

• The practice had updated patient information literature regarding who patients can complain to as an alternative to the practice i.e. NHS England.
• The practice had improved the system to monitor verbal complaints.
