During an assessment under our new approach

Date of Assessment: 22 July and 24 July 2025. Calder View Surgery is a GP practice which delivers services to approximately 6,100 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The National General Practice Profile states that the practice demographic is 52% White, 43% Asian, 2% Mixed, 2% Other and 1% Black. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 2nd decile (2 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others. This assessment considered the demographics of the people using the service, the context the service was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report.

We assessed this practice due to the length of time since our last inspection. This was an announced assessment looking at all the quality statements and all key questions. We have rated this service good overall and good for the key questions.

During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Halifax Road Surgery on 3 March 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.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
  • Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance.
  • Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment and were encouraged to develop their role.
  • The practice implemented suggestions for improvements and made changes to the way it delivered services as a consequence of feedback from patients and from the patient participation group. For example, the availability of appointments.
  • Feedback from patients about their care was consistently and strongly positive.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and that 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.
  • The practice had a clear vision which had quality and safety as its top priority. The strategy to deliver this vision had been produced with stakeholders and was regularly reviewed and discussed with staff.
  • 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 provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.

We saw one area of outstanding practice:

The nurses developed practice specific care plans for patients and used evidence based templates to record reviews. For example, diabetic patients attended an initial appointment with the healthcare assistant for height, weight, blood pressure, lifestyle discussion, foot and memory assessments which were recorded on the template. All results were sent to the patients on an individual care plan with goals to be considered before the second appointment with their named practice nurse.
