Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out a focussed, desk based review inspection at Oakwood Medical Centre on 15 June 2017. We rated the practice as good for providing safe services and it is rated as good overall.
We previously conducted an announced comprehensive inspection of the practice on 4 August 2016. As a result of our findings, the practice was rated as requires improvement for providing safe services and rated as good for providing effective, responsive, caring and well led services, which resulted in an overall rating of good. At that time, we found that the provider had breached Regulation 18 (Staffing) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, due to some staff members having not received mandatory information governance; and infection prevention and control training.
The practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to make improvements and meet the legal requirements. We undertook this focussed desk based inspection to check that the practice had followed their plan, and to confirm that they had met the legal requirements.
This report only covers our findings in relation to those areas where requirements had not been met. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Oakwood Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk/location/ 1-552812563.

The practice had taken action to ensure that staff had received mandatory information governance and infection prevention and control training.
