We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Bramwell & Partners on 13 February 2020. The practice had moved to new premesis so we decided to conduct a comprehensive inspection.
We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service 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.
We have rated this practice as good overall and good for all population groups.
We found that:
- The practice provided care in a way that kept patients safe and protected them from avoidable harm.
- Patients received effective care and treatment that met their needs.
- Staff dealt with patients with kindness and respect and involved them in decisions about their care.
- The practice organised and delivered services to meet patients’ needs. Patients could access care and treatment in a timely way.
- The way the practice was led and managed promoted the delivery of high-quality, person-centre care.
Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:
- Implement actions to improve uptake for the cervical screening programme to meet the national target of 80%.
Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
