Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
This is a focused desk top review of evidence supplied by Dr. Michael Zaryckyj & Dr. Martin Atherton, also known as Park Medical Practice, for one area only, Medicines Management within the key question safe
We found the practice to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.
The practice was inspected on 30 December 2014. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. At that inspection, the practice was rated ‘good’ overall. However, within the key question safe, medicines management was identified as ‘requires improvement’, as the practice was not meeting the legislation in place at that time; (Regulation 13 Medicines Management of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010).
At the inspection in December 2014 we found that vaccines were not stored as required and record keeping was poor.
The practice supplied an action plan with timescales telling us how they would ensure they met Regulation 13 of the Health & Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 (HSCA 2008).
The practice has submitted to CQC, a range of documents which demonstrate they are now meeting the requirements of the new legislation that has superseded the Health & Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010; Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 Safe and Care Treatment
