3rd May 2016 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out a focused inspection of Puddletown Surgery on 3 May 2016 to assess whether the practice had made the improvements in providing safe care and services.

We had previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Puddletown Surgery on 5 August 2015 when we rated the practice as good overall. The practice was rated as requires improvement for providing safe care. This was because medicines kept in the treatment rooms and the practice dispensary were secure but the keys to these areas were not. The Standard operating procedures for the dispensary were not signed by all relevant staff. Also recruitment procedures were incomplete.

We asked the provider to send a report of the changes they would make to comply with the regulations they were not meeting at that time. The practice was able to demonstrate that they were meeting the standards. The practice is now rated as good for providing safe care. The overall rating remains as good.

This report should be read in conjunction with the full inspection report.

Our key findings across the areas we inspected were as follows:

• Arrangements were in place for the management for security of medicine keys

• The dispensary standard operating procedures were in place and appropriately signed by staff

• Recruitment checks for staff had been appropriately completed and recorded.
