4th June 2014 - During a routine inspection
![]() We previously inspected Fordhouses Medical Centre 24 June 2013. At the time we found that arrangements were in place to ensure people using the service were supported to express their views. Audits were carried out to check safety and suitability of equipment. However there were no systems in place to monitor and review any actions required to address issues found, and to complete the quality assurance process. We judged that this had a minor impact on patients who used the service. We set compliance actions and told the provider to improve. The provider sent us an action plan following our visit which recorded the actions taken to address the issues raised. At this inspection visit we looked to see what improvements had been made. We met the GP (who was the provider); we spoke with the practice manager, two staff members and one patient who was visiting the surgery at the time of our inspection. There was also a branch surgery at another location. We visited this location to ensure improvements had also been made to the branch surgery. We gave short notice of this inspection so that any disruption to people's care and treatment were minimised. At this inspection We found that the practice had taken action to improve the service patients received
