Moulton Medical Centre has been given a “good” bill of health by the Care Quality Commission.
A recent inspection was carried out with the purpose of ensuring “sufficient improvement” after a “requires improvement” rating in 2015.
The latest report, published last month, gave a “good” rating in all assessed categories: safe, effective, caring, well led, responsive to people’s needs.
Key findings included that policies and procedures had been reviewed and updated.
Dr Andrew Stone, of the practice, said: “I feel this is evidence of our staff’s efforts to provide continued high quality medical and nursing care.”
The practice was given points for further improvement including to continue to monitor and further embed the current systems in place for safeguarding, high risk medicines and staff training.
The report said: “At our previous inspection on February 10 2015 we rated the practice requires improvement for providing safe services as they did not have processes in place to prioritise safety, identify risks and improve patient safety such as a process to learn from significant events, assessment of risk for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health or mitigations of risks in regard to their disaster planning and business continuity plan. We found that improvements had been made.”
Improvements had also been made in the overarching governance structure, it said.
