9th May 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of Kirkdale on 8 October 2014. The overall rating for the practice was Good. However, the practice was rated as Requires Improvement for providing safe services. The full comprehensive report on the October 2014 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Kirkdale on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused review carried out on 9 May 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach in regulation that we identified at our previous inspection on 8 October 2014. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• The systems to assess the risk of and to prevent and control the spread of a healthcare associated infection had been improved.

The following improvements to the service had also been made:

• Fire drills were now occurring on a regular basis and quarterly fire audits carried out.

The areas where the provider should make improvements are:

• A record should be made of the weekly checks of cleaning standards.

• A system to ensure single use items are individually packaged and in date should be put in place.
