Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Resolution Health Centre on 14 December 2016. The overall rating for the practice was good but requires improvement in safe. The full comprehensive report of the 14 December 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Resolution health Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 13 December 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 14 December 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.
Overall the practice is rated as Good.
Our key findings were as follows:
-
Since the previous inspection the practice had purchased and installed data loggers (automatic temperature monitors) within the vaccine fridges. We did however find that there were some gaps in recording of fridge temperatures. Also that the data from the data loggers showed the temperatures had gone out of the required range and had not been identified.
-
Since the last inspection the practice had implemented additional checks in respect of infection prevention and control. However, no full infection control audits have been completed.
The provider MUST make improve;
Have effective arrangements in place to ensure that vaccines and other medicines stored in the refrigerators are stored at the correct temperatures.
The practice SHOULD:
• Implement infection control audits.
