2nd March 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at The Crane Surgery on 2 June 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good. The full comprehensive report on the June 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for The Crane Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 2 March 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 2 June 2016. 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:

  • Since our inspection in June 2016 the practice had improved their medicine checking system in order to ensure that medicines which expired were replaced at appropriate intervals.

  • The practice had revised the processes for the prevention and control of infection, to include annual infection control audits.

  • The practice had reviewed the processes for obtaining Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks for staff.

  • The practice had reviewed the processes for maintaining personnel files.

  • The practice had reviewed the business continuity plan in order to ensure it is current and contains up to date information.
