Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Stamford House Medical Centre on 1 July 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
We saw areas of outstanding practice, including:
The practice employed an over 75’s Champion whose role was to contact all patients over 75 years to meet where appropriate in the patients home to assess needs and provide advice and support to patients and carers, including referrals to social care and community voluntary organisations. Evidence of the impact of this work included adaptations within patients homes to reduce the risk of falls and referrals to local voluntary organisations to reduce isolation both of which helps the practice reduce unplanned hospital admissions.
The practice had introduced full patient access to their medical records. An initial roll-out with the PPG was undertaken to identify problems and errors before inviting 1% of patients to access their records. Patients were provided with one to one consultations with a GP specialisng in patient access to understand the records and navigate the system. Initial feedback from those patients using the system were positive with examples of patients accessing results prior to consultations and feeling more empowered. The practice is continuing to promote patient access and recruit more patients.
The Health care assistant (HCA) ran a weekly walking group for staff and patients. Outcomes showed both improved physical health but also emotional well-being. The HCA was looking to do two walks per week as the uptake increased.
