Good

Updated 23 April 2020

We carried out a desk top follow up inspection at KH Medical on 30 March 2020. At this inspection we followed up on breaches of regulations identified at a previous inspection on 19 November 2019.

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

  • Documentation and information from the provider and information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services.

At the last inspection in November 2019 we rated the practice as requires improvement for providing safe services because:

  • Systems and processes were not in place to assess the security of the premises and risks to health and safety  in order  to identify risks and  act to address them.
  • There were shortfalls in the management of controlled drugs.

At this inspection, we found the provider had satisfactorily addressed these issues.

We have rated this practice as good for being safe and good overall.

We rated the practice good for providing safe services because:

  • Security of the premises and risks to health and safety had been assessed and actions identified to address risks.
  • Action had been taken to review the medicines stocked at the practice to ensure they were appropriately checked and stored.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
