An Isle of Wight medical practice is one of 53 from around the country who the CQC have released reports on today.
The reports follow inspections, under its new approach, looking at the quality of care provided by GP practices.
The Brookside Medical Centre in Freshwater was found to the ‘Good’. Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s GP practices are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.
Patients should receive 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.”
