4th April 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Henfield Medical Centre on 6 October 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good but was rated as requires improvement for providing safe services. The full comprehensive report on the October 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Henfield Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

Following this inspection the practice sent to us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the following:

  • Ensuring the safe and proper management of medicines are reviewed to protect patients against the risk of unsafe care and treatment.

  • Ensuring that the assessment, detection and controlling the spread of infections, including those that are associated with health care are reviewed so that their infection control audit procedure has a method of documenting how issues are resolved and when this was done.

Additionally we had found that:

  • The practice needed to review their complaints process to ensure patients are given information on how they can escalate a complaint should they remain dissatisfied.

  • The practice needed to record and ensure that the reasons for fridge temperatures going out of range was established.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 4 April 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is still rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The provider had reviewed all aspects of medicines management and devised new standard operating procedures which all appropriate staff had been notified of and signed to acknowledge the information within these.

  • The provider had reviewed their infection control audit process and now documented how issues were to be resolved and when these were to be completed by.

  • The provider had reviewed their complaints procedure and now ensured that information was provided to the complainant that allowed them to escalate a complaint should they remain dissatisfied.
  • The provider had reviewed how they recorded their fridge temperatures and documented the cause when temperatures went outside the accepted range and undertook appropriate actions.
