This inspection was planned to check whether the practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014
We carried out a review of this service on 28 September 2015. This review was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 12 May 2015 had been made. We reviewed the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe? This is because the service was not previously meeting one of the legal requirements.
At the previous, comprehensive inspection on 12 May 2015 we found that the practice was not safe because some emergency medical equipment and medicines were not available for immediate use in line with Resuscitation Council UK guidance.
The review was led by a CQC inspector who had access to remote advice from a specialist advisor.
During our review, we checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented. We reviewed a range of documents including purchase orders for equipment, record sheets for equipment checks, and photographs of the practice where equipment and medicines were stored.
