We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Wrythe Green Surgery GP Hub on 18 April 2019 as part of our inspection programme.

At this inspection we found:

• The service had good systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When they did happen, the service learned from them and improved their processes.
• The service reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided; however, the service had not undertaken any clinical audits. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence- based guidelines.
• Staff involved and treated people with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
• Patients were able to access care and treatment from the service within an appropriate timescale for their needs.
• There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.

The areas where the provider should make improvements are:

• Review service procedures to ensure clinical audits are undertaken.
• Review service procedures to ensure the results of medical records review are shared with relevant staff.
• Review service procedures to ensure patient consent is recorded for health checks.
• Consider providing appraisals for temporary nursing staff.
