We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 14 January 2026.
We found the practice had not met all regulations.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation.
Staff provided care and treatment in line with current guidance. They treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
The practice had not implemented systems to assess, monitor and manage risks to patient and staff safety. In particular, the management of Legionella, emergency equipment and medicines, fire safety, NHS prescriptions and substances hazardous to health.
