Date of Assessment: 11 December 2024 to 17 January 2025. We conducted this assessment due to receiving information of concern and because the practice had not been inspected since 2019. We assessed all quality statements across the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led key questions.
Watling Medical Practice is a GP practice and delivers service to approximately 7080 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The National General Practice Profiles states that the demographics of the population are mainly white British with approximately 4% other, 1.4 percent of which are Asian. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 7th decile (7 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others. This assessment considered the demographics of the people using the service, the context the service was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report.
