Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Lothe & Partners on 16 June 2016. The practice had been rated as good for safe, caring, responsive and well led. However, required improvement in safe. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice sent to us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the following:-

  • Ensure that all staff undertake the practices’ schedule of mandatory training, including basic life support (BLS), safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, fire safety and information governance.

We undertook this announced focused inspection on 10 November 2016 to check that the provider had followed their action plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. The provider was now meeting all requirements and is rated as good under the safe domain.

This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

  • The practice had created a new training matrix and staff had been notified of outstanding training requirements. We saw evidence that all staff were up to date with the practices mandatory training. Which included, basic life support and using a defibrillator training, information governance, safeguarding vulnerable adults and children, dementia awareness, equality and diversity, infection control and fire safety.

This report should be read in conjunction with the last report from 16 June 2016. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link on our website at www.cqc.org.uk
