Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Philip Olufunwa on 22 October 2015. The overall rating for the practice was requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the October 2015 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Dr Philip Olufunwa on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
This inspection was undertaken to check the provider had taken the action we said they must and should take and was an announced comprehensive inspection on 22 June 2017. Overall the practice is now rated as good.
Our key findings were as follows:
There was an open and transparent approach to safety and a system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
The practice had clearly defined and embedded systems to minimise risks to patient safety.
The practice had taken the action we said it must take at our October 2015 inspection to ensure all appropriate pre-employment checks were carried out and recorded in staff records.
Staff were aware of current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective care and treatment. The practice had taken the action we said it should take at our October 2015 inspection to ensure evidence of child safeguarding training was held in the practice records for all locum staff.
Results from the national GP patient survey showed patients were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
Not all patients we spoke with said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP but there was continuity of care, with walk clinics, urgent appointments and GP telephone consultations available the same day.
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 proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The provider was aware of the requirements of the duty of candour. Examples we reviewed showed the practice complied with these requirements.
However, there were also areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.
The provider should:
Continue action to improve QOF performance in areas where performance has been below CCG and national averages.
Ensure more rapid progress in the introduction of care plans for patients over 75, those at risk of hospital re-admission and patients with complex problems.
Make further improvement in recording the process for seeking consent to ensure the process is fully documented in patient records.
Provide appropriate briefing and instruction to ensure all staff are aware of the duty of candour requirements.

We spoke with six people who used the service and looked at comments from people on the NHS Choices website. Overall people were satisfied with the service. Most people told us they could get an appointment when they needed one and found staff to be helpful. People told us they "trusted" their GP and one person told us they "take their time with me". There was an Arabic interpreter based at the practice and people had a choice of either a male or female GP.
People received care and treatment, including medication, that ensured their safety and welfare. People were assessed and treated by a qualified clinician who arranged for diagnostic tests to be carried and referred people to other services or specialists, where necessary. Staff had received basic life support training and there was emergency equipment available.
There were systems in place to monitor the quality of service provided and to ensure that medicines were safely ordered, stored and disposed of. People's records were accurate and fit for purpose. If people were prescribed medication or had an immunisation, this was recorded in their notes. Medical records were securely stored and only accessible to authorised members of staff. The provider was required to submit evidence of audits, investigations of incidents and complaints to the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in order to demonstrate how he was meeting certain quality indicators. Clinical meetings also took place to discuss individual cases.
