Why we carried out this inspection
This inspection was a focussed inspection to follow up on:
-
Safe, effective and well-led key question
-
We followed up on the breaches previously identified
-
We carried forward ratings for caring and responsive from previous inspections as the information we held did not indicate any change to ratings.
How we carried out the inspection
Throughout the pandemic CQC has continued to regulate and respond to risk. However, taking into account the circumstances arising as a result of the pandemic, and in order to reduce risk, we have conducted our inspections differently.
This inspection was carried out in a way which enabled us to spend a minimum amount of time on site. This was with consent from the provider and in line with all data protection and information governance requirements.
This included:
- Conducting staff interviews using video conferencing
- Completing clinical searches on the practice’s patient records system and discussing findings with the provider
- Reviewing patient records to identify issues and clarify actions taken by the provider
- Requesting evidence from the provider
- A short site visit
Our findings
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 have rated this practice as Good overall and good for all population groups except working age people, which we rated as requires improvement because;
- Cervical cancer screening data was below the national average and sufficient improvements had not been made over time.
We found that:
- The practice had acted on findings from our previous inspection in November 2019 and have made significant improvements.
- The practice provided care in a way that kept patients safe and protected them from avoidable harm. The practice had made improvements to issues we had identified previously.
- The way the practice was led and managed promoted the delivery of high-quality, person-centre care.
- Whilst governance processes were being established and embedded, there were some areas of risk management and performance of the practice that required further strengthening.
Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:
- Ensure Personalised Care Adjustment (PCA) rates for patients with long term conditions such and diabetes and COPD are within local and national averages.
- Continue to improve on childhood immunisation and cervical cytology targets.
Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
