Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Rivermead Gate Medical Centre on 2 June 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good with requires 

improvement for the ‘Safe’ domain. The full comprehensive report for this inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Rivermead Gate Medical 

Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

We then carried out a desk-based focused inspection on 25 May 2017 to confirm that the practice were now meeting the legal requirements in relation to the breaches of regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 2 June 2016. 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, with the ‘Safe’ domain now rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• Staff undertaking chaperone duties received training
• Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks were in place for all staff including those non-clinical staff who acted as chaperones or a risk assessment had been completed as to why one was not required.
• The system for managing significant events and safety incidents had been improved and there was evidence that they had been fully analysed, investigated and learning had been disseminated.
