We looked for evidence staff involved people in decisions about their care and treatment and provided them with advice and support. Staff regularly reviewed people’s care and worked with other services to achieve this. At our last assessment, we rated this key question as good. At this assessment, the rating remains the same.

The service supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. The service supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support.

Staff focussed on identifying risks to people’s health, including those in the last 12 months of their lives and those with caring responsibilities. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity.

The service routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured outcomes were positive, consistent and met the expectations of people themselves.

The service fell slightly short of the national target of 90%for the uptake of childhood immunisations. For example between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025, the percentage of children aged 5 who had received immunisations for measles, mumps and rubella (two doses of MMR) was 85.1%, and the percentage of children age 2 who had received their booster immunisation for Pneumococcal infection (PCV booster) was 87%. The service also performed lower than the England average in relation to several cancer screening programmes, including screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer. As of 30 June 2024 the number of women who had an adequate screening test in the previous 3.5 years was 71.4% (age 25-49) and 76.9% (age 50-64). Both figures were below the expected target of 80%. The practice had an internal reporting system to monitor attendance at immunisation and cancer screening appointments. This included an internal messaging group chat to provide all staff concerned with the latest information. The practice nurse would then be provided with a list of patients to contact and invite for an appointment. The practice took into consideration the increasing Turkish population and working families when planning appointments and made appointments available throughout the day rather than during specific clinic times.
