This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 8 January 2018 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach in Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Safe care and treatment, that we identified in our previous inspection on 27 June 2017. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good and good for providing safe care and treatment and for all population groups.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • There was an effective system to monitor that all important clinical test requests were reviewed and followed up.

  • The practice’s policy for safeguarding vulnerable adults reflected current guidance.

  • The practice’s recruitment policy reflected legally required recruitment information.

  • Repeat prescriptions were issued within their authorisation duration.

  • An effective system to formally review blood test results before patients were issued repeat prescriptions for warfarin was in place.

  • There was an on-going system to act on a Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) alert for two medicines used in the treatment of heart failure.

  • The advanced nurse practitioner was supported in their extended role by a GP through monthly patient care reflective accounts.
