Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Windmill Surgery on 7 November 2016. Overall the practice was rated as good overall, with the effective domain rated as requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the November 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Windmill Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
This inspection was a follow up focused inspection carried out on 5 September 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 on 7 November 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.
Effective is now rated as Good and overall the practice rating remains good.
Our key findings were as follows:
The practice had implemented an effective system to manage patients with long-term conditions ensuring that regular reviews were undertaken. We saw evidence that progress was regularly reviewed at clinical staff meetings.
The practice obtained written consent from patients when administering joint injections and recorded this with the patient’s notes.
A programme of internal audits to monitor safety and drive improvement within the practice had been introduced. They included implementation of clinical guidelines.
Patients on repeat medications received regular reviews.
The physical and mental health of all newly appointed staff had been considered to ensure they were suitable to carry out the requirements of the role. This included a medical checklist and appropriate changes to the Reasonable Adjustments Policy.
The practice had improved the management of alerts such as those from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) by ensuring it was noted when action did not need to be taken.
Infection prevention control audits were carried out in accordance with nationally recognised guidelines and completed every six months.
The practice had reviewed the systems for information sharing to consider how it could be more accessible. The practice had changed the way it stored internal documents to ensure information was easily available for staff and had briefed staff accordingly.
