Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at St Georges Medical Centre PMS practice on the 17 October 2017. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
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.
Staff were aware of current evidence based guidance.
Information about services and how to complain was available. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
There was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
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 areas where the provider should make improvement are:
Review the system for updating medication Patient Group Directives, (PGD) to ensure they are correctly signed at the correct time by all staff.
Liaise with NHS property services to ensure the premises used to care for and treat patients comply with the estates, and facilities alert regarding window blinds with looped cords or chains. (REF: EAF/2010/007 Issued 8 July 2010). The manager took action to ensure patient safety on the day of the inspection.
Review the arrangements for disposal of controlled drugs.
Review the complaints procedure to ensure it contains the details of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and investigation notes are retained.
Ensure the Duty of Candour is incorporated into the practices policies and incident forms. (The duty of candour is a set of specific legal requirements that providers of services must follow when things go wrong with care and treatment).
