During an assessment under our new approach

Date of Assessment: 3 September 2025 to 8 September 2025. Bredon Hill Surgery is a GP practice and delivers service to approximately 5,500 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The National General Practice Profiles states the practice population is 98% White and 2% other. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 10th decile (10 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others. This assessment considered the demographics of the people using the service, the context the service was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report. We assessed all five key questions to establish if the services provided are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.

The practice had a good learning culture and people could raise concerns. The facilities and equipment met the needs of people and were clean and well-maintained. Staff felt supported and told us they felt listened to. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who worked in partnership with the service to drive improvements. People were respected, valued as individuals and treated with kindness, empathy and compassion. Staff protected people’s privacy and dignity. People were supported in making choices about their care and treatment. Leaders were visible, knowledgeable and provided support, showing a strong commitment to helping staff develop in their roles. Leaders understood the importance of staff wellbeing. Staff felt supported to give feedback and were treated equally, free from bullying or harassment.

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Bredon Hill Surgery on 18 February 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

  • There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed with the exception of fire safety arrangements, which needed reviewing.
  • Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
  • Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and that there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
  • There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
  • The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.

The area where the provider should make improvement is:

  • Review fire safety arrangements to ensure that they are suitable to protect people from the risk of fire and carry out regular fire drills.
