The key question rated at this inspection:

Are services well-led? – Good

We carried out an announced focused inspection at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust - HQ out of hours services on 17 September 2019.

We undertook this inspection to follow up a breach of regulation that was identified in March 2018. We inspected the well led domain during this focussed follow up inspection.

At this inspection we found:

• The provider had reviewed the training provision for chaperoning and safeguarding children. The shortfalls in training in these topics identified at the time of the last inspection had been completed.

• Data showed an improvement in fulfilment of GP out of hours shifts against the provider GP rota.

• The provider had ensured consistency in tracking blank prescription forms.

• Calibration of blood glucose monitoring equipment had been improved to include additional calibration when new test strips were brought into use.

• The audit trail for receipt of Controlled Drugs (CD) into stock at the Oxford City base was now completed.

The provider had completed all the actions they told us they would undertake to become compliant with regulations and we have now rated the provider as good for provision of well-led services.
