Two doctors' surgeries in Shropshire have been rated as "good" in the latest round of inspections.

Published

Shrewsbury's Riverside Medical Practice and Broseley Medical Practice were the only two from Shropshire to be inspected in the latest round by the Care Quality Commission.

The CQC has published a further 95 reports on the quality of care provided by GP practices inspected by specialist teams.

Three were rated as "outstanding", 82 were "good", seven were in the "requires improvement" category and three were rated "inadequate".

Professor Steve Field, chief inspector of general practice for the CQC, 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."
