23rd 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

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Colin-Jones & Partners on 6 December 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good. The full comprehensive report on the December 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Dr Colin-Jones & Partners on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 23 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 in our previous inspection on 6 December 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The practice was able to demonstrate they were following national guidance on infection prevention and control.

  • The practice was keeping inventories of vaccines held and was recording the batch numbers of local anaesthetic agents used during minor surgical procedures.

  • Records showed that practice had carried out a full fire risk assessment on 7 December 2017.

  • A legionella risk assessment had been carried out on 14 December 2016 and the practice had developed and implemented an action plan to address issue identified.

  • Records showed that practice staff were checking the automated external defibrillator and medical oxygen on a regular basis.

  • The practice had identified an additional 30 patients on the practice list who were also carers. The total number of identified patients on the practice list who were also carers was now 136. This represented 1.1% of the practice list.

However, there were also areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.

The provider should:

  • Continue to identify patients who are also carers to help ensure eligible patients are offered relevant support.
