We previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Cornwall House Surgery in February 2019 as part of our inspection programme. We rated the practice as Good overall. We rated the practice Good for providing responsive, effective, caring and well-led services and requires improvement for providing a safe service. You can read the full report by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Cornwall House Surgery on our website (www.cqc.org.uk).
We were mindful of the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on our regulatory function. This meant we took account of the exceptional circumstances arising as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic when considering what type of inspection was necessary and proportionate, this was therefore a desk-based inspection. On 9 December 2021, we carried out a desk-based review to confirm that the practice had carried out improvement plans to their service.
We found that the practice had put measures in place for ongoing improvement. The practice is now rated Good for providing responsive services.
We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:
- What we found when we reviewed the information sent to us by the provider;
- Information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services.
We have rated Safe as Good because:
- Systems have been put in place to monitor and improve systems of medicines management.
Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
