Dr Aamar Khan is the provider of The City Medical Practice, located at Whetley Medical Centre
2 Saplin Street, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD8 9DW. We visited the location during our inspection.
The provider is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide the following regulated activities: diagnostic and screening procedures; treatment of disease, disorder or injury, and maternity and midwifery services.
Services are provided to a registered patient population of approximately 3,054 through a locally agreed NHS General Medical Services (GMS) contract.
The registered population consists of approximately 70% South Asian ethnicity with the remaining White British, with a small but increasing number of East European registrations. Eight percent of patients are classed as being unemployed; compared to 6% locally and 5% nationally.
At 41% there is a lower than local and national average of patients who have a long-standing health condition; compared to 52% locally and 54% nationally. However, the practice has a slightly higher prevalence of diabetes at 13% of the practice population, compared to 10% locally and 12% nationally.
The National General Practice Profile shows the level of deprivation within the practice demographics being rated as one. (This is based on a scale of one to ten, representing the highest level of deprivation and ten the lowest.) Public Health data shows that the average health status of people in deprived areas tends to be poorer and the use of health care services higher.
The practice clinical team is led by the male GP provider. In addition, there are two further male GPs. The provider will shortly have access to a female GP to improve patient choice. There are three female advanced nurse practitioners, three female practice nurses, a practice pharmacist and two health care assistants. They are supported by a practice manager and a team of administration and reception staff.
Opening times for Dr Aamar Khan are 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday; with the exception of Tuesday when they are open until 8pm.
Routine and urgent appointments are available, along with telephone consultations as appropriate. Patients can access evening and weekend routine appointments through local hub arrangements.
During the inspection we saw that the previously awarded ratings were displayed.
