28th January 2019 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We carried out this announced inspection on 28 January 2019 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. We planned the inspection to check whether the registered provider was meeting the legal requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations. The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was supported by a specialist dental adviser.

To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we always ask the following five questions:

• Is it safe?

• Is it effective?

• Is it caring?

• Is it responsive to people’s needs?

• Is it well-led?

These questions form the framework for the areas we look at during the inspection.

Our findings were:

Are services safe?

We found that this practice was providing safe care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Are services effective?

Are services caring?

Are services well-led?

We found that this practice was providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Background

Avenue Road Partnership Dental Practice is in Newport, Shropshire and provides NHS treatment to adults and children.

There is ramped access for people who use wheelchairs and those with pushchairs. Car parking spaces, including those for blue badge holders, are available near the practice.

The dental team includes three dentists, two dental hygienists, three dental nurses (including two trainee dental nurses), a practice manager and two receptionists. There are also two locum dentists who work at the practice on a regular basis. The practice has four treatment rooms.

The practice is owned by a Partnership and as a condition of registration must have a person registered with the Care Quality Commission as the registered manager. Registered managers have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations about how the practice is run. The registered manager at Avenue Road dental practice is the practice manager.

On the day of inspection, we received feedback from six patients.

During the inspection we spoke with one dentist, two dental nurses, one receptionist and the practice manager. A clinical support lead was also present to provide support during this inspection. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

The practice is open: Monday 8am to 5pm, Tuesday 9am to 7pm, Wednesday 9am to 6pm, Thursday 8am to 5pm and Friday 9am to 5pm.

Our key findings were:

  • The practice appeared clean and well maintained.
  • The provider had infection control procedures which reflected published guidance.
  • Staff knew how to deal with emergencies. Appropriate medicines and life-saving equipment were available.
  • The practice had systems to help them manage risk to patients and staff.

  • Staff felt involved and supported and worked well as a team.
  • The practice asked staff and patients for feedback about the services they provided.
  • The provider dealt with complaints positively and efficiently.
