5th January 2017 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr P Kerr and Partners on 17 August 2016. The overall rating for the practice was Good. However, during this inspection we found a breach of legal requirements and the provider was rated as requires improvement under the safe domain, this was due to the fire alarms not being tested on a regular basis and prescription stationary not being managed safely. Following this inspection the practice sent to us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the following:-

• Ensuring that blank prescriptions forms used in printers were tracked and securely stored.
• Ensuring the fire alarms were tested on a regular basis.

We undertook this announced desk based inspection on 5 January 2017. This was to confirm the practice had carried out their action plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 17 August 2016. Our review of the evidence has determined that the provider was now meeting all requirements and is now rated as good under the safe domain.

Our key findings across the areas we inspected for this inspection were as follows:-

• Printers had been installed with a lock for the printer drawer which held prescription forms and the key was kept separately in a secure location. Serial numbers of prescriptions forms were tracked by the practice at all times.
• The fire marshal undertook weekly fire alarm testing. An external company had completed an annual fire risk assessment in November 2016 and a new fire evacuation plan had been created. The practice undertook their own weekly fire risk assessment..

This report only covers our findings in relation to these topics. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection published on the 7 October 2016, by selecting the 'all reports' link for Dr P Kerr and Partners on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
