12th July 2016 - During a routine inspection
Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
This is a focused desk top review of evidence supplied by Thursby Surgery, for one area only, overview of safety systems and processes, within the key question safe.
We found the practice to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.
The practice was inspected on 21 April 2016. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. At that inspection, the practice was rated ‘good’ overall. However, within the key question safe, overview of safety systems and processes was identified as requires improvement, as the practice was not meeting the legislation at that time; Regulation 12 HSCA (RA) Regulations 2014 Safe care and treatment.
At the inspection in April 2016 we found that; infection prevention and control audits had not been routinely carried out to improve infection prevention and control arrangements, the cleaning schedule did not cover routine cleaning of all areas and there had been no COSHH assessments of cleaning materials. There was no protocol or procedure for cleaning up spillage of bodily fluids. Some clinical staff had not completed immunisation training in the last year. Not all emergency medication was available.
The system for authorising patient group directions required review to ensure they were signed. In addition the safeguarding policy has been updated to include more detail about adult safeguarding. The protocol for lone working had been updated to include visits out of hours.
The practice supplied an action plan and a range of documents which demonstrated they are now meeting the requirements of Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 Safe care and treatment.
