18th April 2017 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Island Health on 19 May 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good. The full comprehensive report published on 27 July 2016 can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Island Health on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 18 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 on 19 May 2016. There were concerns relating to the management and storeage of medicines, staff training, medical indeminity insurance and the assesments of staff who may require Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and to what level. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is now rated as Good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
• Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
• Safety systems and processes were embedded, with the exception of those relating to medicines storage and recruitment.
• Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.

At our previous inspection on 19 May 2016, we rated the practice as requires improvement for providing safe services as not all medicines were accounted for, there was a member of staff employed who did not have valid medical indemnity insurance and not all staff had Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks consummate to their roles. At this inspection we found that all medicines were stored appropriately and accounted for, all clinical staff had the appropriate medical indemnity insurance and the practice had developed a DBS protocol which risk assessed staff according to their role which then determined the level of DBS or if it was required.
