Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Slade Green Medical Centre on 24 September 2015. The practice was rated as good for providing caring and responsive services, and rated requires improvement for providing safe, effective and well led services. The overall rating for the practice was requires improvement. The full comprehensive report on the September 2015 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Slade Green Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
This inspection was undertaken as an announced comprehensive inspection on 19 June 2017. Overall the practice is now rated as Good.
Our key findings were as follows:
The areas we identified at our last inspection as in need of improvement have now all been addressed
There was an open and transparent approach to safety and a system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
The practice had clearly defined and embedded systems to minimise risks to patient safety.
Staff were aware of current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective care and treatment.
Results from the national GP patient survey showed patients were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
Patients we spoke with said they were satisfied with the care and treatment received at the practice, but some patients commented that they found it difficult to get an appointment to see a GP within a reasonable time.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
The provider was aware of the requirements of the duty of candour. Examples we reviewed showed the practice complied with these requirements.
However, there were also areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.
The provider should ensure:
arrangements are put in place to ensure electrical safety tests are carried out at recommended intervals
arrangements are put in place to support improvements to clinical outcomes for patients with diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
improvements are made to the identification of, and provision of appropriate support to, carers in the patient population
arrangements are made to improve patient access to appointments
