This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 7 February 2018 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 19 July 2017. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is now rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• There were systems in place to ensure that patients prescribed a high risk medicine in a secondary care setting were being monitored appropriately.
• Clinical staff had access to the latest guidance from National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).
• Care and treatment was provided in a safe way to patients.
• The practice had considered ways to improve the level of patient involvement and satisfaction in their care.
• The practice had systems to keep clinicians up to date with current evidence-based practice. We saw clinicians assessed needs and delivered care and treatment in line with current legislation, standards and guidance supported by clear clinical pathways and protocols.
