Why we carried out this review
This desk-based review was conducted without undertaking a site visit to confirm that the service had carried out its plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach of regulations that we identified at our previous inspection in November 2021. The key question we inspected was: Safe
How we carried out the review
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 review was carried out in a way which did not require a site visit. This was with consent from the provider and in line with all data protection and information governance requirements.
This included:
- Requesting evidence from the provider
- A remote review of the information provided
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.
The practice remains rated as Good overall.
We found that:
- The practice provided care in a way that kept patients safe and protected them from avoidable harm.
- There was now an effective system in place for chaperoning.
- Communication with NHS GPs was occurring.
- A system for reviewing if an adult accompanying a child had parental responsibility had been reviewed.
- The service was now recording fridge temperature and a second thermometer had been purchased.
- The service had purchased a pulse oximeter.
Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:
- Continue to monitor and review quality improvement for patients.
