Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Ijaola (Riverside Surgery Tamworth) on 15 February 2016. A breach of legal requirement was found and a requirement notice was served. The practice sent us an action plan to say what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to:

  • Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Safe care and treatment.

The overall rating for the practice was good and the full comprehensive report on the February 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Dr Ijaola on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

We visited the practice and undertook an announced focused inspection on 6 April 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach in the regulation that we identified in our February 2016 inspection. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements and additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good and is now rated as good in the safe key question.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The practice had undertaken a risk assessment for legionella and monitoring checks had been completed.
  • The prescription pads and forms were stored securely and a tracking system had been implemented to monitor their use.
  • The practice had implemented an ‘employee health assessment form’ to check the physical and mental health of staff and an induction programme had been introduced for new staff.
  • The practice evidenced through its improved Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF) scores that it had maximised the functionality of the computer system to coordinate patient care. In 2014/15 the practice achieved 74% of the total number of points available in 2014/15 (Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) average 93%, national average of 94%). In 2015/16 the practice achieved 93% of the total number of points available in 2015/16 (CCG average 96%, national average of 95%).

During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Riverside Surgery on 15 February 2016. Overall the practice is rated as Good.

Please note that when referring to information throughout this report, for example any reference to the Quality and Outcomes Framework data, this relates to the most recent information available to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) at that time.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns and to report incidents and near misses. Information about safety was recorded, monitored, reviewed and addressed.
  • A risk assessment had not been completed for legionella (legionella is a bacterium which can contaminate water systems in buildings).
  • Patients’ needs were assessed and care was planned and delivered following best practice guidance. Staff had received training appropriate to their roles and any further training needs had been identified and planned.
  • Patients said they were treated with dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand.
  • Patients told us they could get an appointment when they needed one. Urgent appointments were available the same day.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
  • There was a clear leadership structure and staff understood their roles and responsibilities.

The Practice must:

  • Complete a risk assessment to minimise the risk of legionella

We saw a number of areas where the practice should make improvements.

The practice should:

  • Maximise the functionality of the computer system in order that the practice can run clinical searches, provide assurance around patient recall systems, consistently code patient groups and produce accurate performance data.

  • Have a robust system to account for prescription pads and forms within the practice.
