Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This is a focused desk top review of evidence supplied by Dr RC Rautray’s Practice, for two areas within the key question safe. The desk top review was conducted on 4 January 2017.

The practice was initially inspected on 30 August 2016. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (HSCA). At that inspection, the practice was rated ‘good’ overall. However, we found that:

  • A legionella risk assessment had not been carried out for the main surgery or branch surgery buildings.

  • Emergency medicines were not sufficient to meet patient needs in the event of an emergency situation such as suspected adult meningitis.

  • There was no evidence to demonstrate that the equipment for use in the event of an emergency such as the automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) was checked on a regular basis.

  • There were no processes in place to ensure the safe management of medicines specifically in relation to patient medication alerts received by the practice. The issue of prescription pads to GPs for home visits was not appropriately monitored.

  • The process for recruiting locum GPs was not thorough enough to ensure that persons providing care or treatment had the qualifications, competence, skills and experience to do so safely.

The practice supplied an action plan and a range of documents which demonstrated they are now meeting the requirements of Regulation 12 Safe care and treatment of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

Following this desktop review, we found the practice to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.
