Updated 13 May 2019

We carried out an announced follow up inspection at Aintree Park Group Practice on 25 April 2019 as part of our inspection programme.

At the last inspection in November 2018, we rated the practice as requires improvement for providing safe services because there were gaps in the management of authorisations for vaccinations, risk assessments for emergency medicines and security of blank prescriptions.

We also recommended that the practice should:

  • Continue to monitor antibiotic prescribing rates for all individual clinicians.
  • Have a programme of scheduled clinical audits to monitor the effectiveness of care and treatment.
  • Ensure the infection control lead receives additional training for their role.
  • Carry out additional work to ensure the practice was complying with Accessible Information Standards.

At this inspection, we found that the provider had satisfactorily addressed these areas.

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service is 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.

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