GP surgery found to be ‘Good’ in all areas

The Care Quality Commission has published a further 49 reports on the quality of care provided by GP practices across the country that have been inspected under its new approach.

Esplanade Surgery in Ryde was included in the reports being issued. The surgery was found to be ‘Good’ in all areas.

The practice is rated as good for providing safe and effective services. Patient outcomes were at or above average for the locality. The practice was also rated as good for providing caring and responsive services.

Patients should expect high quality and consistent care
Professor Steve Field, Chief Inspector of General Practice, said:

“We know that the vast majority of England’s GPs are providing a service which is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. If that is what we find on inspection – we give it a rating of Good, and I congratulate the GPs and staff in these practices.

“Patients should be able to expect high quality and consistent care from every GP practice. Where we have required improvement, we will expect the practice to take the necessary steps to address the issue, and we will return at a later date to check that those improvements have been made.

“If we find a practice to be Inadequate, we will put it into special measures, to allow the practice to access support available from NHS England and to ensure there is a coordinated response to help the practice improve.”
