10 Jun
Summary
- Leylands Medical Centre upgraded from 'requires improvement' to 'outstanding'.

- Practice saw a 44% increase in cervical screening uptake.
Leylands Medical Centre in Bradford has been awarded an 'outstanding' rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), marking a remarkable transformation from its previous "requires improvement" status. An inspection in March found significant progress and no breaches of regulation.
The practice, serving approximately 18,700 people across three sites, has been lauded for its "impressive transformation." Inspectors noted "significant improvements" in safe care and treatment, with overall effectiveness upgraded to "outstanding."
Innovations include a targeted programme boosting cervical screening uptake by 44% within six months. The centre also redesigned health check result communication and expanded services to prevent patient health deterioration.
Leaders implemented a new system for BSL interpreters via electronic devices and a redesigned triage system. This approach ensures clinicians have comprehensive patient information for thorough assessments, contributing to exceptional, person-centred care.
