Notts North & East CCG ‘shocked’ by findings in report on Willows Medical Centre

Nottingham North & East Clinical Commissioning Group said they were ‘shocked’ by the findings in a Care Quality Commission report on the Willows Medical Centre in Carlton that was published today. 

Dr James Hopkinson, Clinical Lead for NHS Nottingham North and East Clinical Commissioning Group said: “We are sorry that the patients served by the Willows Medical Centre have been let down in this way. As Commissioners, we also feel let down by this practice.

“What has happened is an unacceptable breach of trust and the standards of care we expect for our patients. We want to reassure patients that this is highly unusual and is not representative of the standards upheld by the overwhelming majority of our GPs and practice staff.

Willows Medical Centre in Carlton placed in special measures

A surgery in Carlton has been placed in special measures after inspectors found the quality of care to be ‘inadequate overall’.

Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission rated the Willows Medical Centre practice as “inadequate for being safe, effective, responsive and well-led”, and said it “requires improvement for being caring” following an inspection in June 2016.

The inspection was carried out following serious concerns highlighted to the commission.

The Willows Medical Centre provides primary medical services to approximately 3,600 patients in Carlton, Gedling Village and Mapperley in Nottinghamshire.

The report found that patients were at risk of harm because systems and processes were not in place to keep them safe. It also claimed the practice was employing a healthcare assistant to undertake tasks normally carried out by a doctor.

It said there was no evidence to demonstrate the healthcare assistant had the adequate training and were competent to undertake a number of the tasks allocated to them.

This member of staff was undertaking examinations, assessments and diagnoses of patients in spite of not being a registered or regulated healthcare professional in this country.

Young people in Gedling borough warned about dangers of buying dodgy diet pills

A campaign has been launched which aims to warn young adults in Gedling borough of the dangers of buying dodgy diet pills online.

FakeMeds aims to stop would-be slimmers against shelling out for dangerous or useless products sold by illegal online suppliers.

Thousands of pills and potions promising miracle results are bought over the summer months as holidaymakers look for shortcuts to beach-ready bodies – with women aged 18-30 most likely to buy.

After handing over bank details, many receive bottles of tablets packed with dangerous or useless ingredients. Nasty side effects can include heart attacks, strokes – and in extreme cases, death.

The frightening consequences of taking dodgy diet pills are set to play out onscreen this August, as Coronation Street’s Bethany Platt collapses in a bid to get slim quick.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has launched a campaign page with practical information on how to recognise legitimate online retailers of medicines and medical devices.

A rise in the age threshold for adult bus fares is just the ticket for teenagers using public transport across Gedling borough.

Young people aged 16 and 17 currently pay adult fares on Nottingham City Transport buses – but from the end of this month the minimum age for adult tickets will rise to 18.

This means that anyone below the age of 18 will now be able to catch an NCT bus for £1.

The changes come into effect from Sunday, August 28 and the bus firm hope apprentices, college and sixth form students from across the borough will reap the rewards.

Students in Gedling borough warned off becoming ‘money mules’ for quick cash

Students across Gedling borough are being warned not to be tempted into becoming a money mule by the lure of quick cash.

Scambusters Action Fraud has issued the warning to students across the borough as many are being recruited, sometimes unwittingly, as “mules” to transfer money illegally between bank accounts by fraudsters.

A money mule is someone who is recruited by those needing to launder money obtained illegally. Criminals advertise fake jobs in newspapers and on the internet in a number of ways, usually offering opportunities to make money quickly, in order to lure potential money mule recruits. These adverts can appear in social media posts or by mass email. Some criminals have been targeting potential mules who have posted a CV on an employment website.
