Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Tulasi Medical Centre on 22 June 2017. 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 a system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
The practice had systems in place to minimise risks to patient safety, however we identified safety concerns in relation to vaccine storage and fire safety.
Staff were aware of current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective care and treatment.
Results from the national GP patient survey showed patients were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
Patients we spoke with said they found it easy to make an appointment with a 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 the requirements of the duty of candour. Examples we reviewed showed the practice complied with these requirements.
The areas where the provider must make improvement are:
Ensure there is an effective system in place for minimising fire risk through the regular testing of fire alarms, and by conducting fire drills in accordance with practice policy.
The areas where the provider should make improvement are:
Review arrangements for ensuring the temperatures of vaccine fridges are routinely checked across all sites.
Continue to review and monitor performance against Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF) indicators, to improve outcomes for patients with diabetes.
