Why we carried out this inspection

We carried out a targeted assessment of the responsive key question. Targeted assessments enable us to focus on certain key questions to explore particular aspects of care.

How we carried out the inspection/review

• This assessment was carried out without a site visit
• Conducting staff interviews using video conferencing.
• Requesting evidence from the provider and reviewing the appointment system.

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 found that:

• During the assessment process, the provider highlighted the efforts they are making or are planning to make to improve the responsiveness of the service for their patient population. The effect of these efforts are not yet reflected in patient feedback. Patient feedback was that they could not always access care and treatment in a timely way.
• Complaints were handled in a timely manner.

Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:

• Continue to monitor access to the practice, audit and analyse the new appointment system and continue to monitor patient feedback.

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