Assessing needs

Score: 1

At our previous inspection in July 2024, we found that patients with long-term conditions did not always receive appropriate monitoring, referral, and follow-up.

At this inspection in March 2025, we conducted remote searches on the practice’s clinical system and found similar concerns to those identified at our previous inspection.

We found patients on the asthma register had not always received an asthma review.

Patients with hypothyroidism had not always had the required monitoring tests. There had been some attempt to contact patients to attend for their monitoring tests; however, there was no evidence of a process to follow up on patients who had not responded to these reminders.

We identified 2 patients with a potential missed diagnosis of diabetes. Both patients had test results that would indicate type 2 diabetes; however, both patients had been coded as suspected/pre-diabetes. This meant these patients would not receive the necessary reviews and monitoring tests at the required intervals for patients with diabetes.

At our previous inspection in July 2024, the provider was unable to demonstrate quality improvement through the use of clinical audits. At this inspection in March 2025, we requested evidence of clinical audits carried out by the provider. We were shown evidence of 2 single-cycle audits; however, the provider confirmed that these audits had not been repeated, and therefore did not demonstrate quality improvement.
