29th July 2016 - During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out a focused inspection of Victor Street Surgery on 29 July 2016 to check that action had been taken since our previous inspection in April 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good. The practice was good for Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well Led services.

However we found that the practice required improvement in the Safe domain due to breaches of regulations relating to safe delivery of services.

We found that the practice had not ensured recruitment arrangements included all necessary employment checks for all staff. There were no fire and legionella risk assessments. Safeguarding, basic life support and fire safety training needed to be undertaken for relevant staff. The medicine/vaccination refrigerators required servicing and calibration. Prescriptions were not kept securely and only accessible to authorised people and the practice required effective infection prevention and control systems.

We inspected the practice on 29 July 2016 to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection of Victor Street Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk

Our key findings for this inspection were as follows:

The provider had made improvements:

• Action plans had been produced following infection control audits.
• The practice reviewed its water safety risk assessment in relation to Legionella to ensure that the water supply did not pose a risk to patients, visitors or staff.
• Recruitment arrangements included all necessary employment checks for all staff had been carried out.
• Safeguarding, basic life support and fire safety training had been undertaken by relevant staff.
• New medicine/vaccine refrigerators had been purchased.

The practice is now rated good for Safe services.
