We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Mytton Oak Medical Practice on 2 November 2017 as part of our inspection programme.
The practice had clear systems to manage risk so that safety incidents were less likely to happen. When incidents did happen, the practice learned from them and improved their processes.
The practice routinely reviewed the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care it provided. It ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence- based guidelines.
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.
There was a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement at all levels of the organisation.
The practice had identified an increase in younger patients with mental ill health including eating disorders and self-harm. They had proactively actioned their findings by supporting appropriate health education sessions on eating disorders and self-harm at a local school. They had noted these changes over a recent period of change at the school from a boys only to a co-education school. They had found increases in patient attendance and in the number of mental health referrals made. This was conducted in co-operation with the school itself, staff and school nurses.
