31st October 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Broadstairs Medical Practice on 25 April 2017. The full comprehensive report on the April 2017 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Broadstairs Medical Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 31 October 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 25 April 2017. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is now rated as good.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

• The practice had revised their policies and processes for ensuring the safe management of medicines.
• The practice had a clear vision and strategy to deliver high quality care and promote good outcomes for patients. They had a business plan outlining their vision and values and had shared it with the practice team.
• The practice had a strong understanding of their clinical performance. They held partnership meetings weekly and clinical meetings monthly. These were well documented.
• We found the practice had strengthened systems and processes to assess, monitor and improve the quality and safety of services. For example; a programme of audit to inform quality improvements.
• Members of the clinical team had access to guidance. New NICE guidance was assigned to clinical staff to review and share during their monthly meetings.
• The practice were actively capturing carers and had identified 78, amounting to 1% of the patient list. They had revised their carers policy defining the services and support patients can expect from them. The service was also working with the care co-ordinator and primary care visitor.
