We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Oakwood Surgery on 19 January 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
The practice ensured that when things went wrong that these were investigated and learning was shared with staff. Risks to patients were assessed and well managed. There were systems for assessing risks including those associated with medicines, premises, equipment and infection control.
There was a detailed business continuity plan to deal with untoward incidents that may affect the day to day running of the practice.
Staff were recruited robustly with all of the appropriate checks carried out to determine each person’s suitability and fitness to work at the practice.
