28th January 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 28 January 2016. During our inspection we found a breach of legal requirements relating to the management of medicines. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to meet Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 Safe care and treatment.

We undertook this focused inspection to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met the legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements and should be read in conjunction with the full report. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link for Frithwood Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk

We found the practice had made improvements since our last inspection on 28 January 2016 and they were meeting the regulation relating to the management of medicines that had previously been breached.

Specifically the practice was operating safe systems in relation to the management of medicines. This included:

• Ensuring the temperature of vaccine fridges were adequately recorded and monitored.
• Systems to monitor the use of handwritten prescription forms.
• Ensuring patient group directions were signed by a person authorised by the practice.
• In addition, the practice now ensures that internal management checks of controlled drugs are undertaken.

We have changed the rating for this practice to reflect these changes. The practice is now rated good for the provision of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led services.
