The provider sent us evidence that they had obtained these checks for all the staff working at the practice and showed that all of the staff employed were suitable and fit to work with vulnerable people and children.
During the inspection we spoke with staff and looked at patient records, staff records, policies and procedures. Staff we spoke with told us that they enjoyed working at the service.
We found that there the practice provided a clean environment for treating patients and equipment used was satisfactorily maintained.
We found that the practice provided almost all of the mandatory training for staff, and ensured this was kept up to date. Where there were shortfalls, such as Mental Capacity Act (2005) and Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults, the practice manager assured us that they would take steps to rectify this. Staff recruitment was in need of updating to ensure all staff were in receipt of a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check.
We saw that records were stored securely, and were well maintained and appropriately completed.
