Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

  • There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed with the exception of equipment to deal with medical emergencies.
  • Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
  • Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and that there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
  • There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
  • The registered provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.

The areas where the provider must make improvement are:

  • Ensure there is adequate equipment on site to deal with medical emergencies and ensure staff are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) annually as per Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines for primary care.

  • Ensure adequate recruitment checks are in place for the appointed locum GP providing care and treatment to patients in line with Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • The health and safety poster displayed in the practice should include the details of the practice representative.

  • A hard copy of the business continuity plan should include staff contact details and be kept in reception for easy access.

  • A recording system should be implemented to monitor the movement of blank prescriptions within the practice.

  • Implement a recording system for cleaning of equipment used for patient care and flushing of the water system.
