All Inspections

6 July 2013

During a routine inspection

Cumbria Health On Call (CHOC) at Workington did not see patients on site. All visits were to the patients' homes outside of usual GP opening hours. On each shift a doctor and driver were available to respond to calls. These calls were handled and triaged by a CHOC head office in Carlisle.

Prior to visiting the service in Workington we had asked some of the people who work in the community about the work of the service. Local social workers and community nurses told us that there were no issues of concern with Cumbria Health on Call. They were very positive about the efficiency and promptness of the service.

We saw that the provider had an effective system in place to identify, assess and manage risks to the health, safety and welfare of people who use the service and others.
