Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at The Mount View Practice on 10 November 2016. Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

  • There was an open and transparent approach to safety and an effective system in place for reporting and recording significant events.
  • Risks to patients were generally assessed and well managed.
  • 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.
  • Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
  • Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
  • Patients said they found it easy to make an appointment, with urgent appointments available the same day.
  • The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
  • There was a clear leadership structure and staff felt supported by management. The practice proactively sought feedback from staff and patients, which it acted on.
  • The provider was aware of and complied with the requirements of the duty of candour.

We saw an area of outstanding practice:

  • The practice worked closely with other agencies in the local area. One GP Partner led an initiative called ‘Healthier Fleetwood’ a partnership of local stakeholders (including council members, police, sports clubs and residents) which focussed on improving engagement and supporting active involvement. Through this the practice were extending their range of social prescribing to include more activity based interventions such as gardening and walking football for people over 50. The practice was also involved with the local police force Early Intervention Scheme. A Police Community Support Officer was based at the practice who sought to identify adults at risk and worked closely with the care co-coordinator to develop support plans.

The areas where the provider should make improvement are:

  • Risk assess decisions relating to the provision of equipment/medicines needed for treatment in emergencies
