We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Friern Barnet Medical Practice on 1 July 2015. The overall rating for the practice was good, with a requires improvement rating for the safe key question. The full comprehensive report can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Friern Barnet Medical Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 19 January 2017 to confirm the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is still rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• The practice used a system to ensure vaccines were safely stored and managed, including an effective ‘cold chain’ policy.
• Patient Group Directions and Patient Specific Directions were up to date and signed by a principal GP and all appropriate staff who used them to administer vaccines or medicines.
• An annual infection control audit had taken place and an action plan was in place.
• There was evidence that the practice complaints system was used to make improvements to care.

All of the areas for improvement and breaches of regulation had been addressed.
