6th October 2016 - 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 Stifford Clays Medical Practice on 17 December 2015. The overall rating for the practice was requires improvement. The full comprehensive report for this inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Stifford Clays Medical Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

We then carried out a desk-based focused inspection on 6 October 2016 to confirm that the practice were now meeting the legal requirements in relation to the breaches of regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 17 December 2015. 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:

• There was an effective governance system in place to identify and mitigate the risks to patients and staff in relation to risk assessments, infection control and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks for chaperones.
• Learning from significant events and complaints was cascaded to relevant staff.
• The majority of staff had received appropriate training, supervision and appraisal. Six out of 23 staff did not have their basic life support training status recorded and the practice manager had not received an appraisal.
• Cleaning checklists were being completed by staff responsible for cleaning at the practice.
• There was an improved flow of communication amongst staff.
• Patient Group Directions were signed by the authorising manager.

However, there were also areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.

The provider should:

• Ensure that the practice manager receives a regular appraisal.
• Improve the record keeping in relation to training to evidence that staff have received it.
