Why we carried out this inspection

This inspection was a comprehensive inspection to provide a rating of the service which was registered on 11 September 2020.

How we carried out the inspection

Throughout the pandemic CQC has continued to regulate and respond to risk. However, taking into account the circumstances arising as a result of the pandemic, and in order to reduce risk, we have conducted our inspections differently.

This inspection was carried out in a way which enabled us to spend a minimum amount of time on site. This was with consent from the provider and in line with all data protection and information governance requirements.

This included:

• Conducting staff interviews using video conferencing and face to face
• Requesting written feedback from staff and patients
• Completing clinical searches on the practice’s patient records system and discussing findings with the provider
• Reviewing patient records to identify issues and clarify actions taken by the provider
• Requesting evidence from the provider
• A site visit

Our findings

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.

We found that:

The practice was good in all key questions.

• The practice provided care in a way that kept patients safe and protected them from avoidable harm.
• Patients received effective care and treatment that met their needs.
• Staff dealt with patients with kindness and respect and involved them in decisions about their care.
• The practice adjusted how it delivered services to meet the needs of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.

We saw an area of outstanding practice;

The culture within the practice was excellent, the GP and practice manager were focused on the well-being, support and development of the workforce. They invested time, effort and care into ensuring staff were happy, in turn they were rewarded with a loyal, dedicated and caring workforce, which served to benefit the patients they cared for.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
