2nd 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 on 10 March 2016 at Preston Hill Surgery. At that inspection the practice was rated good overall. However we rated the safety of the service as requires improvement. This was because the practice could not demonstrate it had carried out all necessary recruitment checks prior to new members of staff starting work at the practice. The practice was also unable to show us evidence of the fire safety checks it carried out. The full comprehensive report of the 10 March 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Preston Hill Surgery our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was a desk-based review undertaken on 2 May 2017 to check that the practice had addressed the requirements identified in our previous inspection. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also outlines some additional improvements made since our previous inspection.

Overall the practice remains rated as good. Following this desk-based review, we have revised the practice’s rating for safe services. The practice is rated good for providing safe services.

Our key findings were as follows:

• The practice was demonstrated that all employed staff had undergone appropriate recruitment checks before starting work at the practice.
• The practice provided evidence of weekly fire safety monitoring checks and six monthly fire drills.

The practice had made some other improvements since our previous inspection:

• The practice had significantly increased the number of patients identified as carers. The practice had now identified 191 patients who were carers (that is, 3% of the patient list). It had done this through carrying out a systematic audit of patient contacts, a programme of staff training and developing links with the local carers centre.
• The practice had set up a patient reference group since our previous inspection. The practice told us of recent actions taken in response to patient feedback which included increasing the number of sessions offered by a male GP and installing an electronic check-in system and patient display board in the waiting room.
