At our last assessment this key question was rated as Inadequate. This assessment was carried out to check if the provider had complied with the warning notices issued to them as an outcome of the last assessment. The rating awarded at this assessment remains Inadequate.

The assessment of November 2024 found systems and processes to keep clinicians up to date with current evidence-based practice were not effective, so people’s ongoing needs were not always met. A number of set clinical record searches were undertaken by a CQC GP specialist advisor without visiting the practice. Several issues were highlighted during these searches.

At this assessment we found some improvements had been made but there were still issues. People prescribed anti-coagulant medicines had not had all the required monitoring. The people we looked at in detail were not up to date with the required monitoring of their health. In addition, we found older people prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) who were not also prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to decrease stomach acid which can result from taking NSAIDs. These issues had also been highlighted at the previous assessment.

In addition, we found that medicine reviews usually consisted of a code entered onto the clinical records, with no explanation of what had been considered or reviewed.
