31st January 2014 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
Our inspection of 22 August 2013 found concerns that people who used the service were not protected against the risks associated with medicines because the provider did not have appropriate arrangements in place to manage medicines. The provider wrote to us and told us they would review their medication management procedures and put in place improved systems to address the issues identified by 28 October 2013. During this inspection we found that the provider had systems in place to assure cold chain store validity of vaccinations and other injections stored in fridges used in the practice. We observed that the content of fridges in consultation rooms had been protected from unauthorised access.
22nd August 2013 - During a routine inspection
We observed that despite being busy on the day of our inspection, reception staff were available to assist people in a timely manner, and were professional and polite. The reception area was separate from the waiting area, which meant that others could not hear what was said as people checked in for their appointments. Additionally, reception staff who spoke with people on the phone were in a separate area behind the main reception desk, which meant that others could not hear what was said when staff were on the phone even when they were at the main reception desk. We found that there were appropriate infection control measures in use at the practice and that medicines were adequately managed. We also found that people were protected from the risk of abuse because procedures were in place at the practice for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, and staff demonstrated that they were aware of these procedures.
