Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr RW Lawrence and Dr NJ Chawda on 11 November 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good.

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

  • Information about safety was recorded, monitored, reviewed and any issues were addressed in a timely way. There was an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events and complaints.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
  • Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
  • Patients said they were treated with kindness, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made as a result of complaints and concerns.
  • Urgent appointments were available on the same day.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
  • There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
  • The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour.
  • The practice should ensure it documents any learning, actions or changes to processes as a result of significant events analysis.

In addition the provider should:

  • Implement a process to ensure lessons learnt are considered, document and shared for incidents and complaints.
