There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
The practice implemented service developments using input from clinicians to understand their impact on the quality of care.

Consider Mental Capacity Act training for all staff.
Consider implementing further systems to ensure patient access to appointments is improved.
