This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 8 November 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 on 5 May 2017.

Overall the practice is now rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• Medicines management procedures had been reviewed to ensure an effective process for managing medicine alerts from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). There was a system to ensure the timely review and actioning of safety alerts.
• There was a system for monitoring high risk medicines and medicine reviews had been conducted or scheduled. Medicines were being prescribed with sufficient information to support safe prescribing.
• Care plans were up to date and there were detailed journal entries which evidenced consultations and actions taken as a result.
• There was an embedded system for the management of complaints.
• The practice had established governance systems and processes.
• The practice had identified an increased number of patients as carers. There were 95 patients on the carers register, approximately 1% of the patient list.
