During an assessment under our new approach

Date of Assessment: 05/03/2026. Aspley Medical Centre delivers services to 8,8802 people under a contract held with NHS England. The ethnic make-up of the practice area was 63.9% white, 6.39% mixed, 15.52% Asian, 11.23% Black and other 2.96%. The age distribution of the practice population shows they have a lower proportion of older people and higher proportion of working age and young people, in comparison to local and national averages. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group were in the 1st decile (1 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. The provider is registered with CQC to deliver the following regulated activities; diagnostic and screening procedures, maternity and midwifery services; treatment of disease, disorder or injury and surgical procedures.

We carried out an unannounced focused assessment in response to concerns raised regarding the security of the environment and confidentiality. During our assessment we did not find the concerns were substantiated and leaders had implemented robust security arrangements.

We found that leaders and staff had a shared vision and culture based on listening and trust. Leaders were visible, knowledgeable and supportive, helping staff develop in their roles and actively listened to staff concerns or suggestions. The service supported staff wellbeing. Security systems and processes ensured that people were safe. All people visiting the practice were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement including visiting health care professionals.

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Aspley Medical Centre on 6 January 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.

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

  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment and there was continuity of care. The GP surgeries were flexible and ensured that patients who requested to be seen on the same day were.

  • The practice had good facilities including disabled access. There was a lift for those who were not able to manage the stairs.

  • Information about services and how to complain was available. The practice sought patient views about improvements that could be made to the service, including having a patient participation group (PPG).

  • The practice proactively sought to educate their patients to manage their medical conditions and improve their lifestyles by having additional in house services available.These included visiting healthcare professionals such as a physiotherapist and community paediatrician.

  • There were systems in place to reduce risks to patient safety for example, infection control procedures.

  • Staff identified a clear leadership structure, good team work, and felt supported by management.

  • Patients’ needs were assessed and care was planned and delivered following best practice guidance. Staff had received training appropriate to their roles.

The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • Ensure systems are in place to proactively identify and support carers.
