Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at The Village Surgery on 26 September 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.

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

  • The practice was rated 91st out of 7,788 practices in a national patient survey of GP practices.
  • Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns and report incidents and near misses. All opportunities for learning from internal and external incidents were maximised.
  • 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 practice had strong and visible clinical and managerial leadership and governance arrangements.
  • Patients said they usually found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
  • Feedback from patients about their care was consistently positive.
  • The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
