During an inspection looking at part of the service
Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an inspection of St Lukes Medical Centre- Greenswood Branch on the 7 September 2016. This review was performed to check on the progress of actions taken following an inspection we made in April 2016. Following that inspection the provider sent us an action plan which detailed the steps they would take to meet their breaches of regulation. During our latest inspection on 7 September 2016 we found the provider had made the necessary improvements.
This report covers our findings in relation to the requirements and should be read in conjunction with the report published in August 2016. This can be done by selecting the 'all reports' link for St Lukes Medical Centre- Greenswood Branch on our website at www.cqc.org.uk
Our key findings at this inspection were as follows:
The practice had improved the health and safety for patients by improving the assessment and management of risks. For example, this included the introduction of:
-
Written care plans for all patients with the long term conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes.
-
Written records for palliative care meetings.
