Following this inspection the practice sent to us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the following:

  • Ensuring that medicines management systems are reviewed to protect patients against the risk of unsafe care and treatment.

  • Ensuring that all safety assessments are undertaken and reviewed as required.

  • Ensuring that appropriate training for staff is completed and monitored. This includes training in respect of fire safety.

Additionally we had found that:

  • The provider needed to continue in actively identifying patients that have caring responsibilities within the patient list.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 8 February 2017 to confirm that 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.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The provider had reviewed all aspects of medicines management and devised new standard operating procedures which all appropriate staff had received a copy of and signed to acknowledge this.

  • The provider had undertaken the assessments required for electrical installation and fire risk and acted upon the advice within these.

  • The provider had ensured all staff had undertaken fire training as required.

  • The provider had increased the number of carers identified within their list from 40 carers to 60 carers. An increase of 50%.

    Overall the practice is now rated as good.
