We carried out an announced focussed inspection at Brunswick Park Medical Centre on 14 December 2016. We found the practice to be good for providing safe services and it is rated as good overall.
We had previously conducted an announced comprehensive inspection of the practice on 4 February 2016. As a result of our findings, the practice was rated as good for being effective, caring, responsive and well led; and requires improvement for being safe, which resulted in a rating of good overall. We found that the provider had breached Regulation 12(1) (2) (a) (b) (g) (safe care and treatment) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
The practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to make improvements and meet the legal requirements. We undertook this focussed inspection to check that the practice had followed their plan, and to confirm that they had met the legal requirements.
This report only covers our findings in relation to those areas where requirements had not been met. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Brunswick Park Medical Centre on our website at http://www.cqc.org.uk/location/ 1-2120710416.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
The arrangements for managing vaccines in the practice kept patients safe.
Appropriately signed patient group directions (PGDs) had been adopted by the practice to allow nurses to administer medicines in line with legislation. PGDs are written instructions for the supply or administration of medicines to groups of patients who may not be individually identified before presentation for treatment.

The areas where the provider must make improvement are:
Ensure that there are appropriate systems in place for the safe storage and management of vaccines.
Ensure that appropriately signed Patient Group Directives are on file to enable practice nurses to legally administer medicines in line with legislation.
The areas where the provider should make improvement are:
Review training records such that all staff receive infection prevention and control training.
