Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at The Dekeyser Group Practice on 20 October 2016. 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 an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
Recruitment and induction policies were in place and were appropriately used. We saw that newly recruited staff did not complete a health assessment or have their immunisation status reviewed.
Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
Appointments with GPs were all booked on the day. In addition there were two duty doctors available each day to offer appointments or telephone triage to those patients with urgent needs. Patients told us that if they required an appointment with a named GP this could mean a longer wait to see the GP of their choice.
The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs. The practice hosted a range of other services such as physiotherapy, alcohol support services and ultrasound scanning services.
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 and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour.
The areas where the practice should make improvements are:
Provide all newly recruited staff with access to a pre-employment health assessment to include a review of their immunisation needs, in line with Public Health England guidelines.
Develop systems to proactively identify those patients in residential and care homes who are subject to Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS).
