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.
