Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This is a focused inspection of HT Practice for two areas within the key question safe.

We found the practice now to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.

The practice was previously inspected on 17 April 2015. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. At that inspection, the practice was rated good overall. However, within the key question safe, two areas were identified as requiring improvement, as the practice was not meeting the legislation at that time:

Regulation 19 HSCA (RA) Regulations 2014 Fit and proper persons employed. We found that the registered person had not protected people against risk related to staff employed at the

registered location. This was in breach of regulation 19 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010, which corresponds to regulation 19 (1)(3)(a) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

Regulation 17 HSCA (RA) Regulations 2014 Good governance. We found the registered person had not protected people against the risk of inappropriate or unsafe care and treatment, by means of good governance. This was in breach of regulation 17(2)(a)(b) of the Health and

Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

During the inspection on 24 April 2017 we were provided with evidence which demonstrated HT Practice are now meeting the requirements of Regulation 17 and 19 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010.

12th December 2013 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

HT Practice is made up of two surgeries that merged, these being Highlands Surgery and Trafalgar Square Surgery. During this inspection we visited the Trafalgar Square surgery.

One patient told us: “Staff are fantastic and telephone contact is good.”

The practice displayed a range of health promotional literature in patient waiting areas, in GP treatment rooms and other treatment areas. Promotional literature included information about vaccinations, healthy eating and healthy lifestyles and stopping smoking. We found that patients who used the service were provided with appropriate information about the care, treatment and support choices available.

Patient’s told us they were given good information about their treatments by GPs. They told us they had explained the treatment to them and if they needed to be referred to see a consultant. Patients told us they felt involved and they were consulted about their treatment.

We saw that the premises in which HT Practice was located were safe and suitable for disabled and frail patients.

We found that both clinical and non-clinical staff were sufficiently trained to undertake and perform their roles and responsibilities. Staff told us they received good support from the practice manager and from the registered provider.

The practice had a number of systems in place to assess, monitor and improve the quality of service patients received. This ensured that patients’ health care needs were monitored and responded to appropriately.
