Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr E Kosciesza's Practice, also known as Cedars Medical Centre, on 8 January 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
Most risks to patients were assessed and well managed, although at the time of inspection the practice had not reviewed actions from a fire risk assessment and a legionella risk assessment had not been undertaken.
Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services was available and easy to understand.
Patients said they found it easy to access the service to make an appointment, although some patients said they found it difficult to make an appointment with their preferred GP. Urgent appointments were available the same day.
In the absence of a male GP registrar, there was no provision for patients to see a male GP.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.
The areas where the provider should make improvements are:
Review the actions from the recent fire risk assessments.
Carry out a legionella risk assessment to identify and monitor the risks associated with legionella bacteria.
Ensure the automatic external defibrillator has pads suitable for children.
Advertise that translation services are available to patients on request.
Consider GP provision for gender specific GP requests.
