Overall inspection

Good

Updated 2 January 2020

We carried out an announced focused inspection at Husbands Bosworth Surgery on 21 November 2019 to follow up on breaches of regulations and concerns that were identified at the previous inspection.

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

  • what we found when we inspected
  • information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services and
  • information from the provider, patients, the public and other organisations.

We inspected the safe and well-led key questions. We have rated this practice as good overall. The ratings for the effective, caring and responsive key questions were aggregated from the previous report.

We found that:

  • Safety systems in place to protect patients from abuse and avoidable harm were effective and working as intended.
  • The practice demonstrated that systems in place for the appropriate and safe handling of medicines were fully embedded and working.
  • Emergency medicines were in place and monitored consistently. Prescriptions were managed appropriately, and security maintained.
  • The practice dispensary was well run, effective and safe. The practice demonstrated that they had added security measures such as glass partitions and automatic security shutters.
  • The way the practice was led and managed promoted the delivery of high-quality, person-centre care.
  • The practice demonstrated an open and honest culture and staff we spoke with reflected the high-quality care that the practice had set down in their mission statement and statement of values.
  • The leadership team demonstrated that they had the capacity to deliver services to a high quality.

Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:

  • Review induction processes to document the inclusion of local safeguarding procedures.
  • Consider the minor risk of community defibrillator at the village hall satellite site.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
