We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Newham Medical Centre on 21 January 2019 as part of our inspection programme.

At this inspection we found:

  • The practice had clear systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When incidents did happen, the practice learned from them and improved their processes.
  • The practice routinely reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence- based guidelines.
  • Staff involved and treated patients with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
  • Patients found the appointment system easy to use and reported that they were able to access care when they needed it.
  • There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.

The areas where the provider should make improvements are:

  • Review and improve systems for maintaining PGDs documentation. (PGDs are written instructions for the supply or administration of medicines to groups of patients who may not be individually identified before presentation for treatment).
  • Continue to review and improve performance for people with long term conditions, cancer, and childhood immunisations and below average GP Patient survey indicators for patients feeling involved in their care.
  • Review and improve leadership contingency arrangements for the event of unplanned absence or leaving of a GP partner.
