Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This is a focused desk top review of evidence supplied by Meadow View Surgery, for areas within the key question well-led. This review was completed on 13 July 2017.

Upon review of the documentation provided by the practice, we found the practice to be good in providing well-led services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.

The practice was previously inspected on 15 November 2016. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (HSCA). At the inspection, the practice was rated overall as ‘good’. However, within the key question well-led an area was identified as ‘requires improvement’, as the practice was not meeting the legislation in respect of good governance. The practice was issued a requirement notice under Regulation 17, good governance.

At the inspection in November 2016 we found the provider did not have a strategy to deliver the practice vision, policies & procedures were not in all cases up to date and there was no program of quality improvement including clinical audit to drive improvement in patient outcomes.

The practice supplied an action plan and a range of documents which demonstrated they are now meeting the requirements of Regulation 17 good governance of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. These improvements have been documented in the well-led section, showing how the registered person has demonstrated continuous improvement since the full inspection.
