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.
Staff could access emergency equipment and medicines that were checked in line with national guidance.
The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks. They should take action to ensure staff have the awareness to recognise and manage service users who may have sepsis.
