Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Waterfield House Practice on 21 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 Waterfield House Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 29 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 21 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 revised the processes for the prevention and control of infection, to include annual infection control audits.

• The practice had reviewed the processes for assessing the risk of legionella, as well as the risks associated with fire safety.

• Personnel files were up to date with copies of the routine checking of registration with the appropriate professional body for nurses.
• Systems to routinely check the equipment and medicines used in emergencies had been implemented to ensure they were safe for use and fit for purpose.
• Staff appraisals were being routinely conducted and recorded.
