We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Abbeyslade PMS – Dr Chand also known as Basildon Road Surgery on 18 November 2018 as part of our inspection programme.

At the last inspection on 11 April 2018 we rated the practice as requires improvement overall because:

• We found the practice failing to provide care and treatment in a safe way for service users
• The practice nurse had not undertaken the required mandatory training for persons deployed in her role.
• Staff were not aware of the designated fire marshals, safeguarding and infection control leads within the practice.
• Arrangements were not in place to ensure end of life patients received co-ordinated care, including the involvement of family members and the palliative care
• team.

At this inspection, we found that the provider had satisfactorily addressed these areas.

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.

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:

• Improve the waiting times and available appointments for patients within the practice.
• Explore ways to gather the feedback of all patients who use the practice.
• Explore with reception staff, ways to ensure patient privacy and dignity is maintained at the reception desk.

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