A SHIPLEY doctor’s practice has received a good care ranking in a national inspection.

Wrose Health Centre in King’s Road was rated as good in the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) latest report.

It was one of 59 practices across the country that had assessments published by the watchdog yesterday.

Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s GP practices are being given a rating to see if they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.

Following recent inspections by specialist teams, 47 practices across the country were rated as Good, eight were rated Requires Improvement, three were found to be Inadequate and one was rated Outstanding.

A spokesman for Wrose Health Centre said: “We are very pleased.”

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 normally put it into special measures, to allow the practice to access support available from NHS England and to ensure there is coordinated response to help the practice improve.”
