30th March 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 at Lytham Road Surgery on 15 December 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good with the key question of safe rated as requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the December 2016 inspection can be found by on our website at http://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-565501213

This inspection was a desk-based review carried out on 30 March 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 15 December 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

Overall the practice is now rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• At the inspection in December 2016 we found that the practice had not ensured that staff followed policies and procedures regarding the management of medicines, in particular in maintaining the cold chain and the storage of vaccines in the fridge within acceptable temperature ranges. At this desk-based review we saw evidence that the practice had addressed these issues. They had reviewed and amended practice policy and procedure, purchased additional temperature recorders and ensured that staff recorded fridge temperatures in line with practice policy and acted appropriately if temperatures fell outside acceptable ranges.
• During our previous inspection we saw that the practice had a comprehensive business continuity plan in place for major incidents such as power failure or building damage. However, the practice management team did not keep copies of this plan at home. At this review, we saw that practice policy required key practice personnel to keep a copy of the plan at home and we were told that this happened.
