7th June 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
This announced focused inspection was carried out on 7June 2017 to confirm the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations we identified in our previous comprehensive inspection on15 March 2016. In March 2016 the overall rating for the practice was Good with Requires Improvement for the safe domain. The full comprehensive report for the March 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for The Cathedral Medical Group on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.
Overall the practice is rated as Good
Our key findings were as follows:
The practice had clearly defined systems, processes and practices to minimise risks to patient safety.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed in relation to the safe management of medicines and prescriptions.
A risk assessment was in place to ensure patient safety in respect of the employment of suitable staff. The appropriate staff had received a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. (DBS checks identify whether a person has a criminal record or is on an official list of people barred from working in roles where they may have contact with children or adults who may be vulnerable).
The practice had made changes to the décor of the building to improve cleanliness and infection control.
Since the last inspection the practice had formed a patient participation group (PPG) that met regularly and worked alongside the virtual PPG to make improvements at the practice; for example, introducing ways of encouraging patients to use the self-help blood pressure monitoring machine located in the waiting area.
