This practice is rated as Good overall. (Previous rating January 2015 – Good)

The key questions at this inspection are rated as:

Are services safe? – Good

Are services effective? – Good

Are services caring? – Good

Are services responsive? – Good

Are services well-led? - Good

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Central Park Medical Centre on 16 October 2018 as part of our inspection programme.

At this inspection we found:

  • The practice had 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.
  • The practice routinely reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. Care and treatment was delivered according to evidence based guidelines.
  • Staff involved and treated patients with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
  • Patients found the appointment system easy to use and reported that generally they were able to access care when they needed it.
  • There were systems in place to mitigate safety risks including health and safety, infection control and dealing with safeguarding.
  • 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 reviewed and considered patient views through surveys and an active patient participation group (PPG).
  • Staff worked well together as a team, knew their patients well and all felt supported to carry out their roles.
  • There was a strong focus on learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
  • The provider was aware of the requirements of the duty of candour.

We saw areas of outstanding practice for children and young people:

  • The practice had a higher than national average number of young patients (Under 18years). Care for children and young people was led by the practice’s Paediatric Advanced Nurse Practitioner (PANP). The introduction of this role had led to improved care of children and young people provided by a fully qualified paediatric clinician. This also freed up GP time to see other patients. We saw examples of how outcomes for children and young people with both physical and mental ill health were improved.
  • The PANP identified a number of children and young people presenting with medical conditions that were impacting on their overall health and well-being. They worked with and enrolled children and young people onto programmes with the Underground Training Station to undertake specific and targeted fitness and health and wellbeing programmes. We were told and saw feedback from parents that children’s confidence, mental health and physical health had all improved greatly as a result.
  • The practice were the providers of clinical and governance support for the area’s children and young adult’s hospice. They provided GP on call cover daily and visiting when needed. They also provided support to hospice staff in governance and non-medical prescribing.

The areas where the provider should make improvements are:

  • Review the practice's systems for checking and monitoring equipment considering relevant guidance and ensure that all equipment is well maintained, in particular, items in the trainee GP’s bag.
  • Review the procedures for fully documenting action taken in response to safety alerts.

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This is the report of findings from our inspection of Central Park Medical Centre - SK Mukherjee (Senior Partner) which is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide primary care services.

We undertook a planned, comprehensive inspection on 07 January 2015 at the practice location in Victoria Health Centre. We spoke with patients, staff and the practice management team.

The practice was rated as Good. A safe, caring, effective, responsive and well- led service was provided that met the needs of the population it served.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • There were systems in place to protect patients from avoidable harm, such as from the risks associated with medicines and cross infection.

  • Patients care needs were assessed and care and treatment was being considered in line with best practice national guidelines. Staff were proactive in promoting good health and referrals were made to other agencies to ensure patients received the treatments they needed.

  • Feedback from patients showed they were overall happy with the care given by all staff. They felt listened to, treated with dignity and respect and had confidence in the GPs and nurses. Patients felt involved in decision making around their care and treatment.

  • The practice planned its services to meet the differing needs of patients. The appointment system in place allowed good access to the service. The practice encouraged patients to give their views about the services offered and made changes as a consequence

  • There was a clear leadership structure in place. Quality and performance were monitored, risks were identified and managed. The practice ensured that staff had access to learning and improvement opportunities.
