Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Summervale Surgery

on 5 August 2015. Following our comprehensive inspection overall the practice was rated as good with requires improvement for the safe domain. Following the inspection we issued a requirement notice. The notice was issued due to a breach of Regulation 12 of The Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activity) Regulations 2014, Safe care and treatment. The requirement notice was for the practice to implement the necessary changes to ensure patients who used the service were protected against any risks associated with the safe management of the medicines, including secure and appropriate storage and the safe management of blank prescriptions. The practice were also required to assess the risks associated with using volunteers. A copy of the report detailing our findings can be found at www.cqc.org.uk.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected during this 5th August 2015 inspection were as follows:

  • The practice must review the secure storage, prescription security and management of medicines requiring refrigeration contained within GP bags and for those medicines related to remote collection.

  • The practice should risk assess the use of volunteers.

We carried out an announced focused inspection at Summervale Surgery on 27 September 2016 to follow up the requirement to assess if the practice had implemented the changes needed to ensure patients who used the service were safe.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected during this inspection were as follows:

  • The practice had implemented changes to improve the management of their medicines and blank prescription paper.

  • Risks regarding the use of volunteers for the delivery of prescriptions to local pick up points had been reassessed and documented.

We found that there were some areas relating to the management of prescription paper and the retaining of appropriate information regarding the volunteers had only been implemented for a short period of time.

The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • The practice should ensure that the new changes to the management of prescription paper and ensuring that appropriate information regarding the volunteers will be monitored and sustained to ensure that these risks to patients are reduced or eliminated.

Following this inspection the practice was rated overall as good and good across all domains.
