We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Sajida Choudhry (Dean House Surgery) on 9 March 2016. The overall rating for the practice was Good. The full comprehensive report on the March 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Dean House Surgery (Dr Sajida Choudhry) on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

At our previous inspection on 9 March 2016, we rated the practice as requires improvement for providing safe services as the practice had not conducted a risk assessment for not having a defibrillator at the practice. In addition, the practice had no system for monitoring the usage of prescription pads.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 28 April 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 9 March 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection. At this inspection, we found that the practice had purchased a defibrillator and that a system of monitoring usage of prescription pads had been introduced. As a result of these findings, the practice is now rated as good for providing safe services.

Overall the practice is still rated as Good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The practice had the required equipment in the event of a medical emergency.
  • The practice had introduced a system of keeping a log of the serial numbers of prescription to monitor the usage of prescription pads held at the practice.
