New Southgate Surgery is purpose built and is close to the centre of Wakefield.
The practice is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide the following regulated activities: diagnostic and screening procedures; family planning; maternity and midwifery services; surgical procedures and treatment of disease, disorder and injury. Patients told us they were happy with the care and treatment they received and that they felt safe. Clinical decisions are considered in line with best practice guidance.
There are effective systems in place to ensure the service is delivered to all patients in a way that meets their needs. There is good collaborative working between the practice and other health and social care agencies which helps to ensure patients receive the best outcomes from their treatment. There are appropriate governance and risk management measures in place.
Systems are in place for medicines management.
The leadership team are reported to be approachable and visible.
The building is clean and well-maintained and is compliant with the Equality Act 2010.
We currently review six population groups at all inspections, the detail of which can be found after the summary in this report. The needs of these population groups are identified by the practice and systems are in place to improve their access to care.
