The practice had developed protocols on the patient record system as a result of new guidelines, the system then alerted GPs to carry out certain tests for specific medical conditions.
There was an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events and staff were aware how to report an incident. However, a summary of significant events was not maintained to identify potential trends.
Detailed discussions were held to ensure lessons were learnt and shared, however minutes did not always record who was responsible for agreed action points and when they should be completed by.
There were embedded systems in relation to obtaining, prescribing, recording, handling, storing and security of medicines.
Data from the Quality and Outcomes Framework showed patient outcomes were average compared to the national average. The practice had high exception reporting in some clinical areas, however had investigated the reasons for exception reporting and taken action.
Staff worked with multidisciplinary teams to understand and meet the range and complexity of patients’ needs. This included the community matron, integrated care co-ordinator, district nurse and LOROS (a county based charity specialising in hospice care for persons over the age of 16).
Referrals through the choose and book system were made during a patient consultation and GPs completed the referral template with the patient.

Patients said they were very satisfied with the care and treatment received and staff treated them with dignity and respect.
The practice supported patients and carers emotionally with their care and treatment and signposted them to relevant support groups as required.

For example, utilising the local area co-ordinator to ensure patients social care needs were also cared for.
