Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Paddock and Longwood Family Practice on 26 August 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns and to report incidents, near misses and any identified safeguarding issues. Issues arising were discussed at regular team meetings
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed,
Patients’ needs were assessed and care was planned and delivered following best practice guidance. Staff had received training appropriate to their roles. However we noticed staff were out of date for infection prevention and control training and fire training. The practice has since provided evidence that this training has been arranged. Additional training and development needs had been identified and delivered
A comprehensive staff handbook was in use although some of the policies contained within it were in need of updating.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment
Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand
Patients said there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from patients and their active Patient Participation Group (PPG) and acted on feedback received
However there are some areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements:
Importantly the provider should:
Ensure staff are up to date with role specific training and that updates are arranged as required.
Ensure that the staff handbook to include governance policies and procedures is regularly updated
Ensure that systems are in place to check that equipment used is in date
