12th October 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Oxford Terrace and Rawling Road Medical Group on 17 October 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good; but was requires improvement for providing safe services. The full comprehensive report on the October 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Oxford Terrace and Rawling Road Medical Group on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 12 October 2017 to review in detail the actions taken by the practice to improve the quality of care.

The practice is rated as good overall, now including for providing safe services.

Our key findings at this inspection were as follows:

• The practice had implemented an action plan to address the issues identified during the previous inspection. The relevant improvements had been made.
• All non-clinical staff who had not received a DBS check had a risk assessment in their staff file as to why this was not necessary. We looked at a sample of two staff records and saw this to be the case.

• We saw that the process for patient safety alerts had been strengthened. The practice policy was now to add them to the practice meeting agenda. We saw minutes to confirm this. There were copies of the alerts held with relevant action noted.

• Vaccine refrigerators were monitored correctly to ensure they were fit for purpose.

• The practice had the appropriate spillage kits and a cleaning schedule for the spirometer and nebuliser.

At our previous inspection on 17 October 2016 we said the provider should make improvements in some areas. We saw at this inspection that improvements had been made;

• A comprehensive checking process had been implemented to ensure that emergency medicines and equipment were suitable for use.

• Patient group directions (PGDs) were signed in line with recommended guidance.
