Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced inspection visit on 9 December 2014. The overall rating for the practice was good. The practice provides services at two sites Huddersfield Road and Barugh Green references to the practice refers to both sites unless otherwise stated.
We found the practice to be good when providing: safe, care and effective for the population groups it serves. In addition we rated the practice as outstanding with respect to its responsiveness to patient’s needs.
Our key findings were as follows:
Where incidents had been identified relating to safety, staff had been made aware of the outcome and action taken where appropriate, to keep people safe.
All areas of the practice were visibly clean.
People received care according to professional best practice clinical guidelines. The practice had regular information updates, which informed staff about new guidance to help ensure they followed best practice.
The service ensured people received accessible, individual care, whilst respecting their needs and wishes.
We found there were positive working relationships between staff and other healthcare professionals involved in the delivery of service.
Appointment length is need specific so GPs arrange longer appointments when they think this is necessary. Longer appointments are offered to some patients for example those with substance misuse issues or complex needs.
The practice had a designated receptionist who had their own room where patients go to select choose and book appointments, after their GP appointment. This receptionist also used the same room for the registration of new patients and had a diary with available appointments, to see new patients, on the computer.
One of the GPs was a complementary therapist and ran an Acupuncture clinic once a week for patients. They also ran a relaxation class once a week for groups of up to 12/15 people over a 12 week course. This was attended by patients from all age-groups and it offered relaxation techniques for many types of problems such as: stress, mental health issues, pain and insomnia.
