Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Sheffield City GP Health Centre on the 18 and 25 January 2017. Overall, the service is rated as good. Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
The service had a number of policies and procedures to govern activity, and managers told us all staff, including locums, had access to policies and procedures on the providers group intranet. However we found examples where staff had not always followed the guidelines. For example, referring to the local child services team when referring to other agencies such as the police.
Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns and report incidents and near misses with the exception of a significant event form was not always completed when reporting adult safeguarding concerns as per the adult safeguarding policy
There was a system in place for learning from significant events.
Some lessons were shared to make sure action was taken to improve safety in the service.
Risks to patients were assessed and managed, with the exception of those relating to fire safety. A fire risk assessment was completed two days prior to our inspection and action was taken by the provider following the risk assessment to address the issues. However these issues should have been dealt with more proactively and been under regular review.
Staff assessed needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance.
Audits and reviews demonstrated quality improvement.
Patients said staff treated with them with respect.
Information about how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
The service worked proactively with other organisations and providers to develop services that supported alternatives to hospital admission where appropriate and improved the patient experience.
There was a leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The service proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The areas where the provider must make improvement are:
The provider must ensure the governance systems and processes are implemented and monitored to ensure compliance with the regulations.
The areas where the provider should make improvement are:
The provider should review the initial form and checklist patients complete so that it is available in large print and other languages for use when using the telephone interpretation service. The provider should keep a record of nurses’ competencies to see and treat children.
The provider should have written reference to the Duty of Candour within their policies.
