Good

Updated 28 October 2019

We carried out an announced focused inspection at Menston and Guiseley Practice on 3 September 2019 as part of our inspection programme.

We decided to undertake an inspection of this service following our annual review of the information available to us. This inspection looked at the following key questions; are services safe, are services effective and are services well-led.

Because of the assurance received from our review of information we carried forward the ratings for the following key questions: are services caring, are services responsive.

Our judgement of the quality of care at this service is based 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 had some systems in place which kept patients safe and protected them from avoidable harm, but improvements could be made.
  • Patients received effective care and treatment that met their needs.
  • 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:

  • Review the security around medical fridges, prescription pads and all medicines kept on the premises.
  • Review arrangements for checking medicines are within their expiry date and audits of these checks.
  • Consider extending staff immunisation checks to include varicella (chickenpox).

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