24th April 2017 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Benchill Medical Practice on 2 July 2015.

At the inspection in July 2015 the overall rating for the practice was good, although the key question Safe was rated requires improvement. This was specifically in relation to staff recruitment and arrangements for staff acting as chaperone. We found that none of the three staff files we looked at contained any written references. Not all non-clinical staff eligible to carry out chaperoning duties had undergone a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

The full comprehensive report on the July 2015 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Benchill Medical Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was a desk-based review carried out on the 24 April 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the one breach in regulation that we identified in our previous inspection on 2 July 2015. This report covers our findings in relation to that requirement. We also requested information for this desk top review about any progress the practice may have undertaken in responding to the areas we identified previously where the provider should take action.

Overall the practice is rated as good

Our key findings were as follows:

At our previous inspection in July 2015 we found that;

• Not all non-clinical staff eligible to carry out chaperoning duties had undergone a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. No risk assessment had been conducted to assess the chaperoning responsibilities and activities of non-clinical staff to determine if they were eligible for a DBS check and to what level.

• The three staff files we looked at contained any written references.

• The provider should develop clinical audit further to enhance their existing systems to improve patient care and outcomes.

• Records of significant events should detail what actions had been taken and how any improvements identified/made were monitored to ensure they were sustained.

We requested information for this desk top review about any progress the practice may have undertaken in responding to the areas we identified previously where the provider should take action. At this review we saw evidence that:

• The practice were able to demonstrate how they had improved systems to ensure lessons were learned from significant events and complaints received.

• The practice told us what action they had taken to improve and develop the clinical audit system to improve patient care.
