Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We had carried out a focused inspection of the practice on 3 November 2016. At that inspection we found that the practice did not have an effective system in place to ensure that the investigations into significant events were detailed and actions were identified and implemented. We rated the practice as 'Requires Improvement' in the safe key question.

As a result we issued the practice with a Requirement Notice for a breach of regulation 12(1) (2) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

At this inspection on 2 June 2017 we found that the practice had made significant improvements and as a result the practice is now rated 'Good' in the safe key question. All other ratings remain unchanged.
