6th July 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of Appleton Village Surgery on 6 January 2016. Breaches of legal requirements were found. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to Regulation 15 HSCA (RA) Regulations 2014 premises and equipment.

We undertook this focused inspection on the 6 July 2016 to check that they had followed their action plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to the requirement and issues identified in the previous report. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link for Appleton Village Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings were:

The practice had addressed the breaches of regulations and other issues identified during the previous inspection and made improvements including:

• Completed all electrical installation remedial work to ensure the premises were safe.
• A new protocol and monitoring system in place for emergency medications carried in GPs’ bags.
• Updated control of substances hazardous to health risk assessments and had ensured all containers for substances were clearly labelled.
