Background to this inspection

Updated 16 November 2021

Cheshire Road Surgery is located at 22 Cheshire Road, London, N22 8JJ. The surgery has good transport links and there is a pharmacy located nearby.

The provider is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to deliver the Regulated Activities of diagnostic and screening procedures; family planning; maternity and midwifery services; surgical procedures; and treatment of disease, disorder or injury.

Cheshire Road Surgery is situated within the North Central London Commissioning Group (CCG) and provides services to approximately 6,800 patients under the terms of a Personal Medical Services (PMS) contract. This is a contract between general practices and NHS England for delivering services to the local community.

The staff team at the practice includes two male GP partners, and three female part-time salaried GPs. Between them the GPs provide 20 to 22 clinical sessions per week (a whole time equivalent of 2.5 – 2.75 GPs). The clinical team is completed by a female full-time nurse prescriber, a female part-time Healthcare Assistant and a part-time Pharmacist.

The non-clinical staff consist of a part-time practice manager, a deputy practice manager and five administrative and reception staff (who work a mixture of full-time and part-time hours).

The provider is a partnership that registered with the CQC in May 2015. The practice is currently part of the North Central Primary Care Network, a group of GP practices working more closely together within the NHS North Central London CCG.

Information published by Public Health England rates the level of deprivation within the practice population as four, on a scale of one to ten. Level one represents the highest levels of deprivation and level ten the lowest. There are moderately lower than average levels of income deprivation affecting the practice population, for example, 32% of older people are affected by income deprivation compared to a local average of 34% and a national average of 20%.

Overall inspection

Good

Updated 16 November 2021

We previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Cheshire Road Surgery in November 2019 as part of our inspection programme. We rated the practice as Good overall. We rated the practice Good for providing safe, responsive, caring and well-led services and requires improvement for providing an effective service. You can read the full report by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Cheshire Road Surgery on our website (www.cqc.org.uk).

We were mindful of the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on our regulatory function. This meant we took account of the exceptional circumstances arising as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic when considering what type of inspection was necessary and proportionate, this was therefore a desk-based inspection. On 26 October 2021, we carried out a desk-based review to confirm that the practice had carried out improvement plans to their service.

We found that the practice had put measures in place for ongoing improvement. The practice is now rated Good for providing effective services.

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

  • What we found when we reviewed the information sent to us by the provider;
  • Information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services.

We have rated effective as Good because:

  • Systems have been put in place to monitor and improve the uptake for the childhood immunisation and cervical screening programmes and for monitoring long term conditions.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
