Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 16 June 2015. Breaches of legal requirements were found during that inspection within the safe domain. Concerns were identified at the main practice and at the branch surgery Hillside Surgery. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice sent to us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the following, that the provider must:

  • Ensure that medicines are stored safely so as not to allow unauthorised access and that all medicines are reviewed for expiry dates.

  • Ensure that the appropriate action has been recorded where fridge temperatures are above the recommended temperature range .

  • Ensure that handwritten prescriptions tracked through the practice at all times.

  • Ensure that the cold chain for medicines has been validated

  • Monitor cleaning standards throughout the practice and ensure that the infection control audit accurately reflects the standard of cleaning and cleaning records.

We undertook this announced focused inspection on 3 March 2016. We visited the main surgery and at the branch surgery to check that the provider had followed their action plan and that the actions taken by the provider had met legal requirements. At this inspection we found that the provider was now meeting all requirements and was rated by us as good under the safe domain. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link on our website at www.cqc.org.uk

Our key findings across the areas we inspected on 03 March 2016 were as follows:-

  • Medicines storage did not allow unauthorised access and since our comprehensive inspection a new policy had been put in place for the reviewing of expiry dates. At this inspection, the medicines we reviewed were all in date.

  • Staff had been re-informed of the appropriate action to take if fridge temperatures were above or below the recommended temperature range. Staff we spoke with were able to tell us the action to be taken. Fridge temperatures were recorded on a daily basis and none of these had been above or below the recommended range since the last inspection.

  • Blank prescriptions were now tracked through the practice at all times and this was recorded centrally on the practice computer system.

  • Medicines transported from the main surgery to the branch surgery were suitable transferred and the cold chain validated.

  • Cleaning standards throughout the practice were routinely monitored and infection control audits accurately reflected the standard of cleaning.
