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

Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
There were safe systems in place for dispensing prescribed medicines to patients.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment. They were very complimentary about the standards of care they received. Information was provided to help patients understand the services and care available to them.
Practice staff worked closely with other organisations and external professionals in planning how services were provided to ensure that they met patient’s needs. Patients with complex needs had care plans in place that were regularly reviewed.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to assess and treat patient’s needs.
However, there was an area of practice where the provider needs to make improvement.
The provider should:
