During the last review of compliance on the 20th August 2012 the Commission had found the service to be non compliant with regard to Outcome 8 Infection control.

We undertook a further inspection on 18th October 2012 which is the subject of this report. As part of the assessment of this service the provider submitted a range of evidence which explained how it was meeting this outcome. We found that a range of processes were in place with no identified gaps in assurance when this outcome was inspected. We therefore found this location to be compliant with Outcome 8 Infection control and intend to take no further action at this time.

People told us they were very satisfied with the practice. They said they never had to wait

long for appointments, and in an emergency they have always been seen the same day.

Patients said that they were happy with the service provided. They thought that they had been given enough information about their treatment options and about the contributions and/or fees they would have to pay. They considered that their treatment had met their dental needs and were satisfied that there were good standards of hygiene in the practice.

All of the four patients with whom we spoke gave us positive feedback about the practice. All those spoken said that the quality of care was very high and that staff had the skills and experience to meet their needs and provide a good service. We ask a range of 20 questions about the service provided by the service and all comments made were very positive with no concerns raised.
