14th March 2017 - During a routine inspection

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Padiham Group Practice on 13 September 2016.

At the inspection in September 2016 the overall rating for the practice was good, although the key question Safe was rated requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the September 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Padiham Group Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was a desk-based review carried out on the 14 March 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in one regulation that we identified in our previous inspection on 13 September 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to that requirement.

Overall the practice is rated as good

Our key findings were as follows:

At our previous inspection in September 2016 we found that;

• Not all potential risks to patients and staff had been adequately assessed and appropriate systems were not in place to address risks including: a legionella risk assessment and checks that cleaning had been carried out.

• A member of non-clinical staff checked vaccine storage fridge temperatures each day, although records were not complete and there was no guidance on meeting regulations for vaccine storage.

• During the inspection, evidence showed that a number of staff and GPs did not have up to date training to the required level for safeguarding vulnerable children and adults. The practice was unable to provide a safeguarding register during the inspection.

• Training records did not provide assurance that all staff had completed mandatory and role specific training.

We requested information for this desk top review about any progress the practice may have undertaken in responding to the areas we identified previously where the provider should take action. At this review we saw evidence that all staff had been registered with an online training provider. The practice manager had been tasked with maintaining the training records for all staff to ensure that all records were current and up to date. A Legionella risk assessment had been carried out. The practice manager had submitted evidence to show that staff were following guidance on vaccine storage. Evidence to demonstrate that clinical staff had attended safeguarding training to the appropriate level was submitted by the practice.
