Why we carried out this assessment.

We carried out a targeted assessment of the responsive key question. Targeted assessments enable us to focus on certain key questions to explore particular aspects of care.

How we carried out the assessment

• This assessment was carried out without a site visit.
• Conducting staff interviews using video conferencing.
• Requesting evidence from the provider and reviewing the appointment system.

Our findings

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

• what we found when we carried out the assessment
• information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services and
• information from the provider, patients, the public and other organisations.

We found that:

• Patients could access care and treatment in a timely way and the provider had implemented systems and processes as a result of patient feedback.
• National GP patient survey results relating to access were above national averages.
• Complaints were satisfactorily handled in a timely manner.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
