Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out a desktop based review of Brooke Road Surgery on 10 October 2016. We found the practice to be good for providing safe services and it is rated as good overall.

We had previously conducted an announced comprehensive inspection of the practice on 8 December 2015. As a result of our findings during that visit, the practice was rated as good for being effective, caring, responsive and well-led, and requires improvement for being safe, which resulted in a rating of good overall. We found that the provider had breached one regulation of the Health and Social Care Act 2008: Regulation 12(1) Safe care and treatment. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection at https://www.cqc.org.uk/sites/default/files/new_reports/AAAE6624.pdf. The practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to make improvements and meet the legal requirements.

We undertook this desktop based review on 10 October 2016 to check that the practice had followed their plan, and to confirm that they had met the legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those areas where requirements had not been met previously.

Our key findings on 10 October 2016 were as follows:

  • The practice had a system to report and evaluate significant events and to implement any learning from these. Staff had received training to enable them to identify and record significant events.

  • There was a supply of suitable emergency medicines available for use. These were monitored to ensure that they were in date and that stocks were replenished.

  • The oxygen supply and adult and children masks were periodically checked to ensure that they were available for use in emergencies.

  • A defibrillator was available at the practice for use in emergencies.
