We carried out an announced focused inspection at The Bermuda Partnership Practice on 22 March 2019, to follow up on recommendations made at our previous inspection in April 2018 (report published June 2018).
Areas for improvement found at the previous inspection were:
- Reviewing the fire safety risk assessment to resolve any actions which had not been completed.
- Reviewing the arrangements for identifying and registering patients who are also carers
- Reviewing arrangements for summarising new patient care records onto the practice systems.
- Reviewing the effectiveness of arrangements for the security of prescription stationery, to ensure it was appropriately logged and tracked.
We inspected the safe domain only and reviewed arrangements for identifying patients who were also carers.
At this inspection we found:
- Outstanding actions from the fire risk assessment had been completed.
- Systems and processes were in place to identify patients who were carers and also patients who were cared for. The practice had linked their carers list with the frailty list and had identified 5% of their practice population as carers, or patients who were cared for.
- Progress had been made on summarising patient records. The practice had a designated member of staff who was responsible for this task and we saw that summarising of records was up to date.
- The practice had strengthened the system for monitoring and logging prescription stationery and it was clear when, where and who had used prescription stationery. When prescription stationery was not in use it was securely stored.
