We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Chapel End Surgery on 16 October 2018 as part of our inspection programme.

At this inspection we found:

• Urgent same day patient appointments were available when needed. All patients we spoke with and those who completed comment cards before our inspection said they were always able to obtain same day appointments and access care when needed.
• Patients’ needs were assessed and care delivered in line with current guidelines. Staff had the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
• Results from the national GP patient survey revealed a high level of patient satisfaction about the care given at the practice. For example, 91% of patients who responded said that the last time they had a general practice appointment, the healthcare professional was good or very good at treating them with care and concern and 98% had confidence and trust in the healthcare professional they saw or spoke to.
• The practice had clear systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When incidents did happen, the practice learned from them and improved their processes.
• Patients said GPs gave them enough time and treated them with dignity and respect.
• A business development plan was in place which since our last inspection had led to the takeover of another practice which operated from the same building.
