Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Statham Grove Surgery on 25 February 2015. The practice was rated good overall and requires improvement for safe. The full comprehensive report from this inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Statham Grove Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced comprehensive inspection carried out on 6 June 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 25 February 2015. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

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

  • There was an open and transparent approach to safety and a system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
  • The practice had clearly defined and embedded systems to minimise risks to patient safety.
  • Staff were aware of current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective care and treatment.
  • Results from the national GP patient survey showed patients were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
  • Patients we spoke with said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
  • The practice had a significant number of patients whose first language was Turkish and the practice had put arrangements in place to support this group. For instance, some leaflets were available in Turkish and the practice had arranged to have Turkish speaking support workers provide services at the surgery.
  • 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 the requirements of the duty of candour. Examples we reviewed showed the practice complied with these requirements.

The areas where the provider should make improvements:

  • Continue to review infection control arrangements in those consulting rooms fitted with carpets and which had sinks and taps that did not comply with national guidelines

  • Review and improve how patients with caring responsibilities are identified and recorded on the clinical system to ensure that information, advice and support is made available to them.

During a routine inspection

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Statham Grove Surgery on 25 February 2015. Overall the practice is rated as good.

Specifically, we found the practice to be good for providing, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services. The practice required improvement for providing safe services. It was also good for providing services for older people, people with long term-conditions, families, children and young people, the working age people (including those recently retired and students), people whose circumstances may make them vulnerable and people experiencing poor mental health (including people with dementia).

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

  • Staff understood and fulfilled their responsibilities to raise concerns, and to report incidents and near misses. Information about safety was recorded, monitored, appropriately reviewed and addressed.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed, with the exception of those relating to storing medicines.
  • Patients’ needs were assessed and care was planned and delivered following best practice guidance. Staff had received training appropriate to their roles and any further training needs had been identified and planned.
  • Patients said they were treated with compassion, 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.
  • Patients said there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available 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.

However there were areas of practice where the provider needs to make improvements.

Importantly the provider must:

  • Ensure the secure storage of GP home visit bags.

Action the provider SHOULD take to improve:

  • Maintain cleaning schedules to evidence the cleaning of the patient toilet and toys for children at the practice.
  • Keep a register for vulnerable adults.
