CQC, ICB Update

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Intergrated Care Board Have conducted an Insight Visit and produced the following report. 

Quality Insight Visit


21st  May 2024

Support for people who may have been affected by infected blood

The NHS have created a website to answer all questions and provided help and support which is:- https://nhs.uk/infected-blood-support

If you are concerned about a possible hepatitis C infection, you can book a home NHS test online. The tests are free and confidential. To receive a self-testing kit which can be quickly dispatched to your home visit hepctest.nhs.uk.

 

Hepatitis B is also linked to infected blood, this usually clears up on its own without treatment, but could develop into chronic hepatitis B.  Patients can find out more information here - hepatitis B information

HIV testing is also provided to anyone free of charge on the NHS.  Home testing and home sampling kits are also available.  You can find out more about HIV testing and the HIV testing services search tool on the NHS website.

Patients who want more details about the safety of blood from donations in England can find more information here:  https://www.blood.co.uk/the-donation-process/further-information/your-safety/


CQC INSPECTION (MAY 2023) 

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected our GP practice in May this year and identified some issues – we would like to reassure our patients that none of these related to clinical matters. 


The issues raised were mainly around internal governance, human resources and training. We put an action plan in place quickly and are addressing the issues - most of the priority ones have already been resolved. We are liaising with the CQC and local Integrated Care Board (ICB) as part of the assurance process. 

All our services are running as normal and patients should attend their appointments as usual. We are committed to providing safe and effective services which meet the clinical needs of our patients. 

We are also committed to the long-term future of our surgery - for example, we have expanded our frontline service provision, including recruiting a pharmacist, social prescriber and physiotherapist, and have increased their number of sessions for patients. We are exploring further recruitment options too. 

If you have any questions about this, please contact the surgery and ask to speak to the practice manager.
