GP medical practice rated inadequate by the CQC

The CQC has rated the Olive Medical Practice as inadequate. In addition, they served two warning notices on the GP practice for failing to meet standards for safe care and treatment and good governance. The inspection reported states:

‘Systems did not ensure that staff were up to date with or followed national guidance...The system for making Do Not Attempt Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) did not allow for decisions to be reviewed or check they had been made appropriately.’

‘The practice did not have clear responsibilities, roles, systems of accountability and good governance. Risks had not been identified, and risks that had been highlighted to the practice had not been acted on.’

‘...we were told about a serious incident in the practice a month prior to our assessment. Although this had been discussed in a meeting of the GP partners, no significant event form had been completed and there was no monitoring of actions that were required to stop the incident being repeated.’

‘The practice did not assess or manage the risk of infection. They did not detect and control the risk of it spreading or share concerns with appropriate agencies promptly.’
