25th May 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

When we visited Cornerways Surgery on 12 April 2016 to carry out

a comprehensive inspection we rated them as good overall.  However, we found the practice required

improvement for the provision of safe services and said they must:

  • Ensure the practice is able to immediately respond to the needs

    of a person who becomes seriously ill by installing a defibrillator and oxygen

    on-site.

  • Ensure all staff have received either a disclosure and barring

    service check (DBS) or an associated risk assessment. (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.)

  • Put arrangements in place for the safe management of medicines.

We also said they should;

  • Ensure all staff have received up to date training in key areas,

    including information governance.

This inspection was an

announced focused inspection carried out on 25 May 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 at our previous inspection. This

report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also

additional improvements made since our last inspection. This report should be

read in conjunction with the full report of our inspection on 12 April 2016,

which can be found on our website at

www.cqc.org.uk

.

The practice is now

rated as good for the provision of safe services. Overall the practice rating

remains as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • Arrangements were in place to ensure the safe management of high

    risk medicines.

  • The practice had a defibrillator available on the premises and

    an oxygen concentrator with adult and children’s masks.  (An

    oxygen concentrator is a machine which creates concentrated

    oxygen from the ambient air.).

  • We saw evidence all staff had received up to date training in

    key areas, including information governance and basic life support.

  • We looked at records, including six staff files, which showed

    all staff had received either a DBS check or an associated risk assessment.

We spoke with four patients who visited the surgery on the day of our inspection. We also spoke with three patients on the practice's Patient Reference Group over the telephone. They all said they were happy with the service. Comments included, "I think it's excellent". And, "It's superb.... We've never had any difficulties whatsoever with them." All of the patients said that they felt well informed and involved in decisions about their care and they could all get an appointment they needed to.

We spoke with the two doctors, the practice manager, a receptionist and a practice nurse. They all said they received sufficient training to enable them to undertake their roles. Staff said they enjoyed working at the practice and felt well supported by the doctors. They said they worked well together as a team. One said, "It's like a family."

We found that the practice had policies and procedures in place to safeguard children and vulnerable adults and that staff were aware of their roles and responsibilities in relation to this. This meant that patients who used the service were protected from the risk of abuse.

The practice had effective system to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that people received. We saw that patients were regularly asked for their views and that comments and complaints were used to improve the service. We saw that learning took place from significant events and that the findings from national and local audits were acted on.
