![]() A valid consent was obtained from patients or their representative before any care or treatment was provided. This included that for minor operations and immunisation programmes. Patients' advanced decisions about their future care were respected. Patients’ care needs were based upon an assessment at their initial registration at the surgery. One patient said, "I can always get to see the GP of my choice. I never have to wait long for an appointment". The majority of patients we spoke with told us that they had a positive experience of using the services offered by Thorney Medical Practice and its Eye branch surgery. There were systems in place to manage the prevention and control of infections. However, we found that these were not always effective. Patients, staff and other visitors were at risk of acquiring a health care associated infection. We could not be confident that spillages would be safely cleaned up. The premises were well lit, warm, secure and smelt clean. However, statutory inspections of water systems, electrical equipment and other health and safety checks had not always been reliably completed. There was a risk that the premises and its equipment were not safe for patients, staff and other visitors to access.
