We carried out this announced, on-site inspection on 19 June 2025.
We found the practice had met regulations.
Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance, and infection control procedures were in place.
The practice had systems to manage risks. However, some improvements should be made to ensure action is taken when risks are identified, in particular relating to fire safety and Legionella.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and overall, there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our inspection, could access care, support and treatment when required.
