Overall the practice is rated as Good. However, on the inspection on 8 August 2016, there were areas of practice where the provider needed to make improvements.
We found that the provider must:
Ensure that the actions identified in the fire risk assessment are completed and that the practice conducts regular fire drill and formal awareness training. Ensure the fire exit that is accessed through a treatment room has clear signage so that staff and patients are aware.
In addition we found the practice should:
Develop a system to ensure that regular audits are undertaken to monitor quality and performance and to encourage improvement.
Review the practice training log to improve management oversight. When requested the practice had not been able to produce all the information easily.
Review the system and ensure all clinical staff immunisations are recorded.
Embed the new system to manage infection control monitoring and audit.

Actions identified in the fire risk assessment were completed. Fire drills and fire training had been conducted. A fire exit that was accessed through a treatment room had clear signage to ensure staff and patients were aware of the exit.
The practice had developed a system to ensure that regular audits were undertaken to monitor quality and performance and to encourage improvement. We saw evidence of audits having been commenced.
