Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Measham Medical Unit on 23 September 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
Information about safety was recorded, monitored, reviewed and any issues were addressed in a timely way. There was an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events and complaints.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Patients said they were treated with care, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
62% of patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and that there was continuity of care.
Urgent appointments were available on the same day and on Saturday mornings.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.
We saw an example of outstanding practice:
The practice, which had a large, rural catchment area, provided a shuttle bus service paid for by charitable donations. This provided free transport to and from home to the surgery for older patients. Approximately 100 patients living in Measham and 19 other villages used this service each month. Appointment slots were blocked for the use of shuttle users and only opened up to others if not filled by bus patients. This meant that patients could have full access to services such as podiatry as well as seeing a GP or nurse. It also provided patients with an opportunity for social interaction with other passengers.
