Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Anuj Handa's practice on 3 February 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
Patients’ comments we received were extremely positive about the practice and identified how caring the staff were.
Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment, there was continuity of care and urgent appointments were available on the same day as requested.
Patients told us they were seen within 48 hours, irrespective of need.
Longer appointments were given to those patients who needed them.
Information regarding the services provided by the practice was readily available for patients.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat and meet the needs of patients.
There was a complaints policy and clear information available for patients who wished to make a complaint.
The practice sought patient views how improvements could be made to the service, through the use of patient surveys, the NHS Friends and Family Test and the patient participation group.
The needs of patients were assessed and care was planned and delivered following best practice guidance. Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed. There were good governance arrangements and appropriate policies in place.
The practice was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour. (The duty of candour is a set of specific legal requirements that providers of services must follow when things go wrong with the care and treatment of patients.)
There was a culture of openness and honesty, which was reflected in the approach to safety. All staff were encouraged and supported to record any incidents using the electronic reporting system. There was evidence of good investigation, learning and sharing mechanisms in place.
There was a clear leadership structure, staff were aware of their roles and responsibilities and told us the GPs were accessible and supportive
However, we saw an area where the provider should make improvements:
Ensure the cleaning and refurbishment up of the old ‘minor surgery’ room is carried out before usage (this was an unused room in the practice).
