16th May 2019 - During a routine inspection

We carried out this announced inspection on16 May 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.

• Is it safe?

• Is it effective?

• Is it responsive to people’s needs?

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

On the day of inspection, we collected 48 CQC comment cards filled in by patients. We received comments from two additional patients in the practice.

During the inspection we spoke with four dentists, four dental nurses and a receptionist. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

The practice is open: Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm and is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
