Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Tanners Meadow Surgery on 13 September 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour.
The practice participated in the hospital admission avoidance scheme and maintained a register of patients who were at high risk of a hospital admission.
The practice had given talks to local schools about the role of the GP surgery and had given some students the opportunity to complete work experience at the practice.
The practiced worked closely with local services including the local food bank and volunteer transport schemes.
The practice was involved on the Get It On Scheme. (Get it On is a service for under 24 year olds living in Surrey who can have access to advice about sex and relationships and receive free condoms).
There were two branch practices which enabled patients ease of access in the rural area. One of the branch practices were able to dispense medicines to eligible patients
