Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr S Nelson & Partners on 17 February 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.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
  • 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 and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and that there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments 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 and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.

We saw one area of outstanding practice:

  • The practice employed a community nurse who visited elderly patients, carried out reviews and liaised with other professionals to ensure older patients’ health and social needs were being met.

The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • Ensure there are robust and effective systems in place to ensure patients on high risk medicines or those who require regular monitoring are actively followed up in line with national guidance.
