The Care Quality Commission has found the quality of care provided by two number of GP practices in the Central region to be Outstanding.
Under CQC’s programme of inspections, all England’s GP practices are given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
These GP services were found to be providing an exemplary service to their patients when CQC inspected.
The reports detailing inspectors’ findings have now been published:
- Leicester Terrace Health Care Centre, Leicester Terrace, Northampton
- Sett Valley Medical Centre, Hyde Bank Road, High Peak, Derbyshire
Janet Williamson, Deputy Chief Inspector of General Practice and Dentistry in CQC’s Central region said:
“People deserve to receive good care that meets their individual needs from staff who are compassionate when they use GP services.
“It is clear these GP practices are providing an exemplary service to the people living in the areas they serve.
“The hard work of the staff who work at these services is making a real difference to patients. This is why we have found these practices to be Outstanding.”
