14th November 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at King Edward Street Medical Practice on 14 November 2016. The overall rating for the practice was requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the November 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for King Edward Street Medical Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was a desk-based review carried out on 13 July 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 on 14 November 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is now rated as Good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• The practice had undertaken a fire risk assessment and a disability access audit which identified areas for improvement which the practice had begun to implement.
• The practice had updated their vaccines protocol to ensure the cold chain was maintained in line with best practice.
• The practice had undertaken a medicines review audit to improve the monitoring of patient care.
• All patients with a learning disability had been invited for an annual health check.
• An audit had been undertaken to review the use of the consent policy and showed consent had been obtained and documented where appropriate.
• The practice had purchased a hearing loop to ensure patients who used hearing aids could access services.

However, there were also areas of practice where the provider should make improvements.

The provider should:

• Ensure the practice maintains oversight of cancer screening figures in order to monitor and improve patient outcomes.

At our previous inspection on November 2016, we identified that the practice should identify a means of improving breast cancer screening. At this inspection we found that the practice had taken steps to try and improve uptake of breast cancer screening and while data showed an increase in uptake of this service, the practice did not have oversight of this. Consequently, the practice should maintain oversight of cancer screening figures in order to monitor and improve patient outcomes.
