We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Stoke Gifford Medical Centre
on 5 July 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
Risks to patients were assessed and well managed, however, where the partners had delegated authority to staff to undertake areas of work within the practice, processes were needed to ensure there was continuous clinical oversight of these areas. Staff assessed patients’ needs and delivered care in line with current evidence based guidance. Staff had been trained to provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver effective care and treatment.
The areas where the provider should make improvement are:
The partners had delegated authority to staff to undertake areas of work within the practice, such as dissemination of patient safety alerts, patient medicines changes and exception reporting, however, the processes to ensure there was continuous clinical oversight of these areas should be further developed.
Where a patient’s mental capacity to consent to care or treatment was assessed the outcome of the assessment should always be recorded on the patient record.
