19th November 2014 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
![]() Our inspection on the 22nd May 2014 we found the practice had not ensured patients had sufficient access to appointments with the GPs. The practice had also not followed recruitment procedures or provided adequate support and guidance to staff. Following the inspection the practice wrote to us and told us they would take action to ensure they were compliant with these essential standards. At this inspection we found that improvements had been made. The provider now reviewed patient’s access to appointments and put systems in place to ensure staff were recruited safely and had the right support and guidance in place.
22nd May 2014 - During an inspection in response to concerns
![]() We visited the practice because concerns had been raised with us. The main concern was that there were not enough GPs at the surgery. We were also told that it was difficult to get an appointment to see a GP and that the appointment system was inflexible. We spoke with seven patients during our visit, the practice manager and clinical and administration staff. We saw three GPs had recently left and that the provider had put into place locum GPs to ensure clinical support was maintained. We also saw new GPs and nursing staff were being recruited. However we found there had been some stress on the appointment schedule during the time of this transition. We found staff recruitment was not robust. We also found supervision and appraisals were out of date and staff felt unsupported and unclear about their roles. The practice had mechanisms in place to monitor and asses the standard of care patients received. However we did find the provider had failed to notify the Care Quality Commission of important changes to their registration.
13th August 2013 - During a routine inspection
![]() We spoke with four patients, the registered provider (the lead GP), the practice manager, a health care assistant and a receptionist. Patients' needs were assessed and care and treatment was planned and delivered in line with their individual wishes. Staff had received training in the safeguarding vulnerable of adults and children. They were aware of the appropriate agencies to refer safeguarding concerns so patients were protected from harm. Staff received appropriate professional development. The provider had worked continuously to maintain and improve high standards of care by creating an environment where clinical excellence could do well. There were systems in place to gather the views of patients who used the service about the care and support provided. Patients had their comments and complaints listened to and acted on to improve the patient experience.
