A CQC spokesman said: “The inspectors based their judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of what we found when we inspected, information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services, and information from the provider, patients, the public and other organisations.
“We have rated this practice as ‘good’ overall.
“However, we have rated the well-led key question as requires improvement because we found that some clinical patient records had not been summarised.

“To ensure effective systems and processes to ensure good governance are embedded and monitored.
“We also found that the provider should:
“Review and improve the arrangements for monitoring long-term conditions, in particular blood pressure monitoring and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
“Review and improve the system that ensured patient group directions are kept up to date.”
