During a routine inspection
People we spoke with had been registered with the practice for a long time, from 15 to "almost 40" years. One person told us "he is one the best GPs in the whole of England. He is very kind, take his time, really cares about the patient". Another person told us "I never, ever plan to change the doctor".
We found that the practice sought consent before treating people, and had a procedure for obtaining consent on behalf of children. We found that the provider had taken steps to safeguard vulnerable people from the risk of abuse, and that staff were knowledgeable, skilled and qualified.
We found that the service had a plan in place to meet government guidelines for cleanliness and infection control, and had appropriate systems in place to assess quality.
