14th September 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

At our previous comprehensive inspection at The Simpson Centre in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire on 14 September 2016 we found a breach of regulations relating to the provision of safe services. The overall rating for the practice was good. Specifically, the practice was rated requires improvement for the provision of safe services and good for the provision of effective, caring, responsive and well-led services. The full comprehensive report on the September 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for The Simpson Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was a desk-based review carried out on 19 April 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection in September 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

We found the practice had made improvements since our last inspection. Using information provided we found the practice was now meeting the regulations that had previously been breached. We have amended the rating for this practice to reflect these changes. The practice is now rated good for the provision of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led services.

Our key findings were as follows:

• The practice including the branch surgery in Penn (also in Buckinghamshire) had established and was now operating safe and effective systems to assess, manage and mitigate the risks identified relating to fire safety, electrical installation and legionella.

• A system had been introduced to improve the security of prescription stationary. For example, all clinical rooms had been fitted with key coded locks and prescriptions were now locked away in a cupboard overnight to prevent unauthorised access to blank and completed prescription forms.

• Further steps had been taken steps to assist patients with hearing difficulties. The broken aid to assist patients with hearing difficulties had been removed and the practice had received quotes for two brand new hearing loops. Until installation, one of the managers within the practice had completed a basic sign language and communication for hearing impaired course. This had been cascaded to all practice staff during a training afternoon.
