Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This announced focused inspection was carried out on 5 July 2017 to confirm that the practice had made improvements to meet the actions falling below a regulatory breach in our previous comprehensive inspection on 24 February 2016. In February 2016 the overall rating for the practice was Good. The full comprehensive report for the February 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for The Buckfastleigh Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk .

This report covers our findings in relation to improvements made since our last inspection.

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

  • The practice had clearly defined systems to minimise risks to patient safety. A new pharmacist had been employed to oversee medicines management.

  • Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective care and treatment. The practice had introduced a new on line tool to assist with the provision of staff training

  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs. The practice was clean, tidy and hygienic. We found that suitable arrangements were in place which ensured the cleanliness of the practice was maintained to a high standard.
