10th July 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 previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Moorland Medical Centre on 28 November 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good with requires improvement in providing safe services. The full comprehensive report on the 28 November 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Moorland Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 10 July 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in the regulation that we identified in our previous inspection on 28 November 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • Appropriate recruitment checks had been carried out for all staff including locum GPs.

  • Non-clinical staff who chaperoned had received appropriate training and a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

  • Formal systems for reviewing patients prescribed a high risk medicine had been implemented.

  • Risk assessments had been completed to identify which emergency medicines should be held at the practice.

We also saw the provider had implemented the best practice recommendation we previously made in relation to providing a well-led service:

  • Policies and the business continuity plan had been dated so staff knew which version to refer to for guidance.

However, there was an area of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.

The provider should:

  • Obtain recent photographic proof of identity of all members of staff.
