We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at The Enterprise Practice on 31 July 2018. We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether The Enterprise Practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
At this inspection we found:

- Staff involved and treated patients with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
- Patients found the appointment system easy to use and reported that they were able to access care when they needed it.
- Information about services and how to complain was available. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
- There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
- The practice was aware of and complied with the requirements of the Duty of Candour.
- There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
