CQC Inspection

The Hawkinge & Elham Valley Practice was inspected by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) on the 11th March 2015 using their new method of inspection.
This involved an announced comprehensive inspection of the services and care we provide to our patient population.
The inspection report and findings were officially published on the 20th August and we are delighted that the practice has received an overall rating of good.
Specifically, the CQC found the practice to be good for providing well-led, effective, safe, caring and responsive services. They found that we were also good for providing services for the care of older people, people with long term conditions, families, children and young people, working age people (including those recently retired and students), people whose circumstances may make them vulnerable, people experiencing poor mental health (including people with dementia).

The inspectors were with us all day, speaking to staff and patients and you will see from the report that, as a Practice, we can celebrate the service we provide and you can feel assured that we have processes and systems in place to ensure that our staff are supported and trained to deliver the high quality service you expect.

The practice is committed to providing a service we can be proud of and we would like to thank all our patients for their support.
