9th November 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr D Whillier and Partners on 17 March 2016. Breaches of the legal requirements were found.

• The practice was unable demonstrate that annual infection control audits had been undertaken in accordance with national guidance on infection prevention control.
• The designated lead for infection prevention control had not received appropriate training.

Therefore, a Requirement Notice was served in relation to the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Regulations 12 - Safe care and treatment

Following the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches.

We undertook this desk based inspection on 9 November 2016, to check that the practice had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met the legal requirements. We reviewed written and photographic information sent to us by the practice that told us how the breaches identified during the comprehensive inspection had been addressed. 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 for Dr D Whillier and Partners on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

• The practice was able demonstrate that it was compliant with national guidance on infection prevention control. However, there were some areas in the audit which were marked as having not been completed and there was no entry made as to how the practice were going to action these.
• The designated lead for infection prevention control had received appropriate training.

The areas where the provider should make improvements are:

• Continue to ensure the infection prevention control audit action plan responses are recorded and actioned appropriately and in accordance with the practices policy and guidance documentation.
