We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at the 157 Medical Practice (the practice) on 3 March 2020 as part of our inspection programme. It was the first inspection of the newly-registered service. The previous service provider, which had not been registered by the CQC, had been identified by service commissioners as being in difficulty. The practice has been operated by Federated4Health, the Pan Haringey GP Federation, since July 2019.
We have rated the practice as Good overall and in respect of the key questions Safe, Caring and Responsive. We have rated it as Requires improvement for providing Effective services. We saw unverified data indicating a significant improvement in all aspects of clinical care. This needs to be sustained and improved further, particularly in relation to outcomes for people with long term conditions and people experiencing poor mental health, where performance remains below past local and national averages. We have rated the practice as Outstanding in respect of the key question Well-led, in recognition of the considerable amount of work put in by leaders and staff to bring about improvement to the service, clinical performance and patients’ outcomes.
