Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr AM Hogarth’s Practice (also known as The Harefield Practice) on 31 May 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.

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.
  • Most risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
  • Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
  • Patients said they felt the practice provided excellent care and staff were helpful, caring, kind, professional and treated them with dignity and respect.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and 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 areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • Review significant event recording forms to support the recording of notifiable incidents under the duty of candour.

  • Ensure a consistent pre-employment check process is practised for all staff groups including those employed as locums.

  • Ensure that concerns relating to the maintenance of the premises are progressed with the landlord.

  • Review the system for monitoring blank prescription forms.

  • Review the disaster prevention and recovery policy to ensure it covers for incidents and emergencies that may impact on the daily operation of the practice.

  • Display notices informing patients of the translation services.
