Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Durr and Partners (known locally as Broomfield Park Medical Centre) on 4 October 2016. As a result of our inspection the practice was rated as good overall but required improvement for providing safe services. The full comprehensive report on the October 2016 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Dr Durr and Partners on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
This inspection was a desk-based focused inspection carried out on 23 August 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 4 October 2016. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements.
Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings were as follows:
-
The practice had registered to receive alerts issued by MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency). This was rectified immediately after our last inspection on 4 October 2016. The practice supplied evidence to show they had retrospectively reviewed all alerts issued during the last 12 months and taken any appropriate action. A revised procedure was also put in place to ensure staff were fully informed of alerts and to record the actions that needed to be taken going forward. The practice also supplied evidence to show they have continued to monitor and action these alerts and have discussed them in relevant staff meetings.
-
All staff meetings were being fully minuted.
