Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Bewicke Medical Centre on 9 December 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows
There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
Some patients said they found it hard to make an appointment with a named GP. Urgent appointments available the same day.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
Staff throughout the practice worked well as a team.
The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

Review arrangements for the distribution of blank prescription forms to take into account national guidance.
