On the day of inspection, we visited Dr Yuen Fong Soloman Wong (known as Ashton View Medical Centre), 7 Ashton View, Leeds LS8 5BS, which is located within the Harehills district on the outskirts of Leeds city centre. The purpose-built premises are leased by the provider. There are three consulting rooms and two treatment rooms; one of which is used for minor surgical procedures. There is disabled access and car parking facilities on site.
The practice is situated within Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and is a member of a federation of practices across Leeds. They are also part of a primary care network (PCN), which is a group of practices who work together to improve services for their patient populations.
The practice provides services to approximately 4,500 patients under the terms of a locally agreed NHS General Medical Services (GMS) contract. The patient population consists of mixed ethnicity, with over 55% from black minority ethnic groups. The practice reported there was an increased number of Eastern European patients registering. There are patient demographic variables, compared to the local CCG averages. For example:
- 26% of patients have a long-standing health condition (CCG 50%)
- 79% of patients are in paid work or full-time education (CCG 63%)
- 8% of patients are unemployed (CCG 5%)
- 63% of patients are aged 18 years or under (CCG 39%)
- 4% of patients are aged 65 years or over (CCG 24%)
- Prevalence of smoking is 32% (CCG 20%)
The National General Practice Profile shows the level of deprivation within the practice demographics as being rated one. (This is based on a scale of one to ten, with one representing the highest level of deprivation.)
The practice clinical team consists of the male lead GP, a female salaried GP, two practice nurses and two healthcare assistants (all female). They are supported by a practice manager and a team of administration/reception staff.
The provider of the service is registered with CQC to deliver the regulated activities: diagnostic and screening procedures, treatment of disease, disorder or injury, maternity and midwifery services and surgical procedures. The lead GP also has a separate contract with the CCG to provide a non-therapeutic (for religious or cultural reasons) circumcision service for male babies up to the age of 12 weeks. The service is provided in accordance with best practice guidance from the British Medical Association (BMA).
The previous inspection ratings were displayed in the practice and on the provider’s website.
