Are services well-led? – Good

We carried out an announced inspection at The GP Service (UK) Limited on 12 June 2019 as part of our inspection programme. The GP Service (UK) Limited is an online provider. Patients are able to consult with a qualified General Medical Council registered GP via online assessment questionnaires or through secure video calling.  Medicines can then be sent to the pharmacy of their choice for dispensing.There are a number of pharmacies which are signed up as affiliated pharmacies with The GP Service (UK) Limited.

At this inspection we found:

  • The service had effective systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When they did happen, the service learned from them and improved their processes.
  • The service routinely reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence- based guidelines.
  • Staff involved and treated people with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
  • Patients could access care and treatment from the service within an appropriate timescale for their needs.

  • There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
