Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Trescobeas Surgery on 26 May 2016. The practice was rated as requires improvement for safe and good for effective, caring, responsive and well led. Overall the practice was rated as good.

During that inspection we found that the practice was not compliant with the legislation in relation to the secure storage and monitoring of prescriptions.

We also identified that the areas the provider should make improvement were;

  • Ensure systems which identify record and support patients who are also carers.

  • Ensure equipment, including needles and syringes that were accessible to patients, are stored securely.

  • Ensure that staff employed at the practice have the required employment checks.

The report setting out the findings of the inspection was published in August 2016. Following the inspection we asked the practice to provide an action plan detailing how they would improve on the areas of concern.

We carried out a focused inspection of Trescobeas Surgery on 16 November 2016 to ensure the changes the practice told us they would make had been implemented and to apply an updated rating.

We found the practice had made significant improvement since our last inspection on 26 May 2016. Following this focused Inspection we rated the practice as good for providing safe services. The overall rating for the practice remains good. For this reason we have only rated the location for the key question to which this related. This report should be read in conjunction with the full inspection report published August 2016.

  • All prescription stationary was managed, monitored and stored securely.

  • Equipment, including needles and syringes, were stored securely in areas that were not accessible to patients.
