During a routine inspection
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at SMA Practice on 24 April 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 and good for all population groups.
We found that:
- The practice provided care in a way that kept patients safe and protected from avoidable harm.
- Patients received effective care and treatment that met their needs.
- 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 care.
Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
