must improve A GP surgery in Park Wood has been told it has to improve follow- ing a two-day visit by a govern- ment inspector. The inspector said TheWallisAv-
enue Surgery was good at provid- ing caring and responsive services, but needed to improve the delivery of safe, effective and well-led serv- ices for all patients. Patients told the inspector they
felt cared for and didn’t experience particular problems in making an appointment, even on the same day, but the inspector noted that the surgery “relied heavily on reg- ular locum staff”. Therewas also a backlog of paper communications dating back to 2012 that the practice had yet to scan on to patient records. Other key findings included: not
all risks to patients were assessed and well managed, some staff needed more training and did not always feel supported by manage- ment, with “the lead GP not always visible in the practice”. The practice provider, Dr Swathy
Susan Alexander, has also been told to review the surgery’s infec- tion control management, its risk assessment activity and the accu- racy of systems used to measure performance.
