The practice was open between 8:00am - 6:30pm Monday to Friday except on Thursdays when the practice was open from 8:00am - 12:30pm. Appointments were from 8:00am to 12pm every morning and 2:30pm to 6:30pm daily except on Thursdays when the practice is closed in the afternoon but is still accessible for urgent care needs.

The details of the out-of-hours service are communicated in a recorded message accessed by calling the practice when it is closed and on the practice website.

The age profile of the practice population is broadly in line with the CCG averages. Information taken from Public Health England placed the area in which the practice is located in the fifth more deprived decile (from a possible range of between 1 and 10). In general, people living in more deprived areas tend to have greater need for health services.

• The practice had clear systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When incidents did happen, the practice learned from them and improved their processes.

• The practice 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 patients with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.

• Patients found the appointment system easy to use and reported that they were able to access care when they needed it.

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

The areas where the provider should make improvements are:
