During an inspection looking at part of the service
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr S Archer & Partners on 21 January 2020 as part of our inspection programme.
We decided to undertake an inspection of this service following our annual review of the information available to us. This inspection looked at the following key questions:
- Effective
- Responsive
- Well Led
We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:
- what we found when we inspected
- information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services and
- information from the provider, patients, the public and other organisations.
We have rated this practice as good overall and good for all population groups.
We found that:
- Patients received effective care and treatment that met their needs.
- The practice organised and delivered services to meet patients’ needs. Patients could access care and treatment in a timely way.
- The way the practice was led and managed promoted the delivery of high-quality, person-centre care.
Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:
- Review the need for formal supervision for all clinical staff to include practice nurses.
Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
