Updated 15 April 2019

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at

The Mayflower Medical Practice on 19 February 2019 as part of our inspection programme.

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.

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.

Whilst we found no breaches of regulations, the provider should:

  • The practice should review the governance arrangements for the dispensary service to ensure the lead GP for dispensing is assured of the safety and quality of the service provided.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
