![]() We spoke with nine patients who were attending the practice on the day of our inspection. Their comments included "give them a big tick"; "Dr 'X' has been very good with my condition, [they] really have been very good and I could not wish for any better"; "my doctor is lovely. [The doctor] is always very kind and does a good job. We have a chat and decide what to do"; and, "I see the nurses an awful lot and they are so kind to me they really are. They always look pleased to see me". People told us they felt involved in their care and treatment, and they were treated with respect and dignity by all the staff at the practice. Staff knew the local safeguarding procedures. The policies for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults were reviewed regularly to ensure they were up to date. Staff regularly attended multi-agency safeguarding meetings. This meant people could be kept safe because information was shared and safeguarding plans were put in place. There were appropriate arrangements in place which ensured that staff kept their knowledge and skills up to date. Staff told us about the supportive environment and confirmed that they had access to adequate training. The practice was organised and well led. There were effective systems in place to monitor the quality of the service provided and patients were able to give feedback about the service.
