We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr CR Dewing and Partners on 19 October 2016. The overall rating for the practice was requires improvement.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 7 June 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 19 October 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is now rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The practice had improved its systems and processes in order to ensure that, risks were assessed and implemented well enough to ensure patients, staff and visitors were kept safe. Action had been taken to address the areas of concern identified in the infection control audit, as well as actions required from risk assessments relating to fire safety and legionella checks.

  • Routine checks for the storage and expiry dates of medicines were suitably risk assessed, recorded and appropriately maintained. Repeat prescription medicines were dispensed in a safe manner.

  • Recruitment arrangements had been improved in order to ensure they included all necessary pre- employment checks for all staff.

  • Staff had received up to date training in safeguarding children.

  • The structure of governance meetings had been enhanced to include all departments and staff within the practice, in order to further drive improvement.

The practice had also taken appropriate action to address areas where they should make improvements:

  • The practice had developed the system that identified patients who are also carers to help ensure that all patients on the practice list are offered relevant support if required.

  • The system for responding to complaints had improved, in order to ensure it included acknowledgement of receipt of complaints and provides clarity to complainants as to contacting the ombudsmen.
