Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at High Field Surgery on 9 November 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

  • There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
  • Risks to patients were assessed and well managed.
  • Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
  • Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment with a named GP and there was continuity of care, with urgent appointments available the same day.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
  • There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
  • The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour. The practice engaged proactively with the patient participation group (PPG) and had established a system whereby a member of the PPG would be involved with interviews for clinical posts.
  • The practice had identified a higher than average number of patients with multiple long term conditions and responded to this issue in 2013 by developing a tailored recall programme to better structure care and reduce the need for multiple visits each year. This was prior to the House of Care approach being rolled out as a CCG initiative.
