We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Dr Susan Elizabeth Honey (also known as Woodfield Road Surgery) on 28 February 2019 as part of our inspection programme. We last inspected this practice on 19 May 2015 when they were rated good overall and for all population groups.
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 have rated this practice as good overall and good for all population groups except
families, children and young people which was rated requires improvement because:
- Childhood immunisation uptake rates were below the World Health Organisation (WHO) targets for one and two-year-olds.
However, we found that:
- The practice provided care in a way that kept patients safe and protected them from avoidable harm.
- Patients received effective care and treatment that met their needs.
- Staff dealt with patients with kindness and respect and involved them in decisions about their care.
- The practice organised and delivered services to meet patients’ needs. Patients could access care and treatment in a timely way.
- The way the practice was led and managed promoted the delivery of high-quality, person-centre care.
The areas where the provider should make improvements are:
- Work towards all staff attaining safeguarding children training to a level recommended in updated guidance.
- Consider providing enhanced infection prevention and control training for the lead to support them in the role.
- Review Public Health England (PHE) guidance in relation to vaccine fridge temperature monitoring.
- Continue to monitor performance of the Quality and Outcome Framework (QOF) indicators and patient outcomes in relation to the childhood immunisation programme.
- Consider how patients with a hearing impairment would access the service.
Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
