We carried out an announced focused inspection carried out on 15 November 2018 to confirm that the practice had carried out actions to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 13 March 2018.
At the inspection on 15 November 2018 we found there were continuing shortfalls in the safe domain and service requirement notices in relation to: appropriate support, training, professional development, supervision and appraisal of staff employed by the practice.
We therefore carried out a full comprehensive short notice announced inspection on 23 November 2018, due to the concerns identified on 15 November 2018.
At this inspection we found:
The practice managed risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When incidents did happen, the practice learned from them and improved their processes. However, this was not supported by suitable systems and processes to demonstrate that learning and improvements were embedded in practice and shared appropriately with relevant staff.
There were shortfalls in the monitoring of prescription stationery.
There were shortfalls in the management of risk from Legionella.
The practice reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence- based guidelines.
The systems and processes in place for staff appraisals did not show that the practice policy had been consistently followed; and all staff had received appropriate supervision and appraisal.
Staff involved and treated patients with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
Patients found the appointment system easy to use and reported that they were able to access care when they needed it.
Systems and processes to support the management and running of the practice were unclear and records were not consistently complete to enable the practice to show it was meeting the regulations at all times.
The areas where the provider must make improvements as they are in breach of regulations are:
Ensure care and treatment is provided in a safe way to patients
Establish effective systems and processes to ensure good governance in accordance with the fundamental standards of care.
The areas where the provider should make improvements are:
Review arrangements for consultations with patients under the age of 16 years.
Review arrangements for the safe monitoring and storage of emergency medicines.
Review arrangements for identifying themes and trends from complaints and acting upon these.

The practice had clear systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When incidents did happen, the practice learned from them and improved their processes.
