28th September 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 Rochester Road Surgery on 11 July 2017. The overall rating for the practice was requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the July 2017 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Rochester Road Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection on 28 September 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 11 July 2017. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is now rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• An infection control audit had been conducted to identify risks where action was required. There was an enhanced cleaning schedule for the equipment and treatment room used for minor surgery procedures.
• Emergency medicines were accessible and there was a system to check they were in date. Emergency equipment was checked monthly.
• Blank prescription forms and pads were securely stored with a system to monitor their use.
• The practice had established a system to identify, manage and mitigate infection prevention and control risks.
• Documents seen demonstrated that learning from clinical audits and significant events was shared at the practice.
• There were systems to help ensure the safety of services. For example, the recording of fire evacuation rehearsal procedures and the checking of emergency equipment.
• The practice provided the personnel file information for one GP after the comprehensive inspection on 11 July 2017, to demonstrate that they had assured themselves that the clinician was safe to practice.
• The practice had identified an increased number of patients as carers. There were 34 patients on the carers register, 1% of the patient list.
