Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced focused inspection of Farnham Dene Medical Practice, Farnham Centre for Health, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 9QS on 28 June 2016. The inspection was undertaken to check that the practice was making improvements following an inspection on 24 September 2015 where we found breaches in regulations relating to safe delivery of services. At the inspection on 24 September 2015, the practice was rated good overall and good for providing effective, caring, responsive and well-led services. The practice was rated as requires improvement for safe.
We found the practice had made improvements since our last inspection on 24 September 2015 and was meeting the regulations that had previously been breached.
Our key findings for this review were as follows:
-
The practice had reviewed and implemented changes to the recording of their cleaning schedule for equipment used.
-
The practice had ensured all Patient Group Directions (PDGs) had been signed by staff authorised to administer vaccines.
We have amended the rating for this practice to reflect these changes. The practice is now rated as good for the provision of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services. The overall rating for the practice remains good.
