The Rockwell and Wrose Practice is the provider of Wrose Health Centre, located at Kings Road
Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD2 1QG. There is also a branch location at Rockwell Medical Centre, Thorpe Edge, Bradford, BD10 8DP. Both sites were visited during our inspection.
The provider is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide the following regulated activities: diagnostic and screening procedures; family planning, maternity and midwifery services, surgical procedures and treatment of disease, disorder or injury.
Services are provided to a registered patient population of approximately 10,315 through a locally agreed NHS Primary Medical Services (PMS) contract.
The registered population consists of approximately 80% White British ethnicity with the remaining mostly South Asian, with a small but increasing number of East European registrations. Two percent of patients are classed as being unemployed; compared to 6% locally and 5% nationally.
Patients who have a long-standing health condition make up 55% of the practice population; compared to 53% locally and 51% nationally. The practice has a higher prevalence of depression at 32% of the practice population, compared to 21% locally and 23% nationally.
The National General Practice Profile shows the level of deprivation within the practice demographics being rated as three. (This is based on a scale of one to ten, one representing the highest level of deprivation and ten the lowest.) Public Health data shows that the average health status of people in deprived areas tends to be poorer and the use of health care services higher.
The practice clinical team is led by four GP partners (two male and two female). In addition, there are three further female GPs. There is one newly appointed female advanced nurse practitioner, four practice nurses and two health care assistants. They are supported by a practice manager and a team of administration and reception staff.
Opening times for Wrose Health Centre are 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday; with the exception of Thursday when the location closes between 1 and4pm for staff training. Out of hours care is available for urgent matters for patients that require this.
Routine and urgent appointments are available, along with telephone consultations as appropriate. Patients can access evening and weekend routine appointments through local hub arrangements.
During the inspection we saw that the previously awarded ratings were displayed.
