Updated 7 December 2017

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out a focussed, desk based review inspection at Dr VK Chawla's Practice on 11 October 2017. We found the practice to be good for providing safe services and it is rated as good overall.

We previously conducted an announced comprehensive inspection of the practice on 17 November 2016. As a result of our findings, the practice was rated as requires improvement for providing safe services and rated as good for providing effective, responsive, caring and well led services, which resulted in an overall rating of good. At that time, we found that the provider had breached Regulation 18 (1) (Staffing) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 due to an absence of systems for monitoring the status of staff members’ annual basic life support training.

We undertook this focussed desk based inspection to check that the practice had taken action to meet the legal requirements.

This report only covers our findings in relation to those areas where requirements had not been met. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Dr VK Chawla's Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk/location/ 1-523702115.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

• The practice had taken action to ensure that there were appropriate arrangements in place to monitor the status of clinical staff members' annual basic life support training.
