Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at North End Medical Centre on 5 April 2016. Overall the practice is rated as Good.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

  • Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns and report incidents and near misses. All opportunities for learning from internal and external incidents were maximised.

  • Feedback from patients about their care was consistently positive.

  • The practice worked closely with other organisations and with the local community in planning how services were provided to ensure that they meet patients’ needs.

  • The practice implemented suggestions for improvements and made changes to the way it delivered services as a consequence of feedback from patients and from the patient participation group.

  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.

  • The practice actively reviewed complaints and how they are managed and responded to, and made improvements as a result.

  • The practice had a clear vision which had quality and safety as its top priority. The strategy to deliver this vision had been produced with stakeholders and was regularly reviewed and discussed with staff.

  • The practice had strong and visible clinical and managerial leadership and governance arrangements.

We saw some areas of outstanding practice including:

  • The practice also took part in a programme of Community Health workshops on diabetes, in partnership with a local voluntary agency. We saw these workshops included cooking demonstrations, sample recipes, medical and practical advice and a free diabetic-friendly lunch was also served. The workshops were delivered on a monthly basis and attendance ranged from 50 – 100 at each workshop. Performance for diabetes related indicators was 100% which was 17% above the CCG and 11% above the national average.

The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • The practice should review, with an aim to reducing their level of exception reporting in relation to Quality Outcome Framework (QOF).
