Enter and view: Market Weigton Group Practice

Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire conducted an Enter and View visit, as part of a planned set of visits looking at the quality of provision of General Practice services in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire visited Market Weighton Group Practice, on 03/11/2015.

This practice is housed in a purpose built new build approximately one year old, replacing an older facility. It is the only General Practice in the town of Market Weighton and is unfortunately situated a little out of the main town in a new housing estate. The overall environment was well presented inside and out.

The summary of findings highlighted this is a successful practice with proactive management. They provide a comprehensive range of health care services in a bright and welcoming environment. Further attention to small detail will only serve to further improve the service.

Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire recommends installation of a Hearing Loop. A regular hourly check of toilet facilities by use of a signed check list to prevent this happening and a notice in the toilet advising clients to report issues to the reception desk. Ensure the planned improvements for children are carried through. Possibly seek to improve the road signs to the practice as one Healthwatch representative found it difficult to locate as the post code is not yet registered.
