5th May 2016 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Gun Lane Medical Practice on 18 August 2015. Breaches of the legal requirements were found. Following the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches.

We undertook this focussed inspection on 5 May 2016, to check that the practice had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met the legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of Gun Lane Medical Practice on 18 August 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns, and to report incidents and near misses. Information about safety was recorded, monitored, reviewed and addressed.

  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.

  • Patient’s needs were assessed and care was planned and delivered in line with current legislation. Staff had received training appropriate to their roles.

  • Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in decisions about their care and treatment. Information to help patients understand the services available was easy to understand. Staff treated patients with kindness and respect, and maintained confidentiality.

  • Patients said they experienced few difficulties when making appointments and urgent appointments were available the same day.

  • There was a leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice took into account the views of patients and those close to them as well as engaging with staff when planning and delivering services.

However, there were areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.

Importantly the provider must;

  • Review the system to manage and keep safe blank prescription forms.

  • Revise the management and security of medicines, including vaccines

The provider should also;

  • Revise documents used to govern activity to ensure they are up to date and contain relevant information for staff to follow.

  • Raise staff awareness of the practice statement of purpose.
