During a routine inspection
We found that overall the patients felt they received an excellent service. One patient said "Absolutely brilliant -- excellent" and another said "Very good communication --- very impressed". We were told that the staff were "Always immaculate". We observed that the staff were very friendly and treated people with courtesy.
We noted that comments boxes were present in the waiting room and that patients used this frequently.
We found the practice was friendly, welcoming and informative and all four patients we interviewed felt the same.
We found the practice to be clean and comfortable throughout. All four patients we spoke with stressed how clean and comfortable they found the practice.
We saw that patients were able to give consent for treatment appropriately and the staff were well trained and caring. The practice was well led and the staff were observed to be well organised.
