The practice had a governance system that included policies and procedures, which were accessible to staff and were reviewed on a regular basis. Systems and processes were embedded, and the assessment did not highlight any significant issues or omissions. Areas requiring improvement were acted on immediately. Staff were aware of the importance of protecting patients’ personal information. Staff password protected patients’ electronic care records, and paper records were stored securely and complied with General Data Protection Regulations. There were effective processes for undertaking audits, identifying and managing risks, investigating incidents and accidents, and for receiving and acting on safety alerts. Concerns and complaints were responded to appropriately, and outcomes were discussed to share learning and for improvement. We noted innovative approaches to providing person centred care. Staff demonstrated an open culture in relation to people’s safety. Staff had clear responsibilities, and systems of accountability to support good governance. Staff feedback was obtained through meetings, surveys, and informal discussions. They were encouraged to offer suggestions for improvements to the service, and they said these were listened to and acted upon, where appropriate. Feedback from patients, the public and external partners was collected and responded to. The practice had taken steps to improve environmental sustainability. For example, patients completed their medical histories online before visiting the practice, treatment plans are signed and emailed via a clinipads and the practice had all policies, risk assessments and audits online. The practice recycled all paper and cardboard.
