8th December 2016 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

The practice was rated good overall and is now rated good for providing safe services.

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 28 April 2016. A breach of legal requirements was found during that inspection within the safe domain. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice sent us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements. We conducted a focused inspection on 8 December 2016 to check that the provider had followed their action plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

During our previous inspection on 28 April 2016 we found the following areas where the practice must improve:

• Take action to address identified concerns with infection control.
• Ensure up to date risk assessments are undertaken in relation to fire and the safety of the premises.
• Ensure all necessary recruitment checks are undertaken for all staff.

Our previous report also highlighted the following areas where the practice should improve:

• Ensure that there is a clear audit trail in relation to the management of, and response to complaints.
• Ensure that significant event recording forms include details of where and when the event was discussed and shared with staff.
