7th September 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of Newnham and Westbury Surgery on 5 May 2016. We found that the practice had breached a regulation relating to the safe delivery of services. Overall the practice was rated as good.

The practice required improvement for the provision of safe services to ensure that the risks associated with checking, maintaining and safely storing emergency equipment and medicines had been appropriately assessed. The practice also needed to implement a system to identify, assess and mitigate risks arising from cross infection this included the requirement to complete an infection control risk assessment required by the relevant code of practice.

Following the inspection the provider sent us an action plan detailing how they would improve the emergency equipment and infection control management systems ensuring they reflect national guidelines.

We carried out a desktop inspection of Newnham and Westbury Surgery on 7 September 2016 to ensure these changes had been implemented and the service was meeting the regulations previously breached. For this reason we have only rated the location for the key question to which this related. This report should be read in conjunction with the full inspection report from 5 May 2016. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link for Newnham and Westbury Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

We found the practice had made improvements since our last inspection on 5 May 2016 and they were meeting the regulations that had previously been breached.

Specifically the practice was operating safe systems in relation to emergency equipment and infection control management systems. This included:

• The practice had reviewed their systems for checking and storing emergency medicines and equipment and had implemented new processes. The practice had replaced the equipment previously noted to have been out of date.

• The practice had improved infection control management by undertaking infection control audit training and completing infection control audits for both Newnham and Westbury practices.
• Both of the improvements above were discussed at a practice meeting and minuted for all team members’ awareness.

We have changed the rating for this practice to reflect these changes. The practice is now rated good for the provision of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led services.
