25th April 2017 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We carried out this announced inspection on 25 April 2017 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 well-led?

There is level access for people who use wheelchairs and those with pushchairs.

The dental team includes two dentists, a dental nurse, a trainee dental nurse, a dental hygienist therapist and two receptionists. The practice has three treatment rooms.

The practice is owned by an individual who is the principal dentist there. They have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations about how the practice is run.

On the day of inspection we collected feedback from five patients through CQC comment cards and speaking with patients. This information gave us a positive view of the practice.

During the inspection we spoke with both of the dentists, the dental nurse, the trainee dental nurse and one of the receptionists. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

The practice is open: Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm and 9am to 2pm on Saturdays. The practice closes for lunch between 1pm and 2pm.

12th February 2013 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

The service was quiet at the time of our visit and engineers were installing a new digital telephone system.

We spoke to one person who used the service. They told us that they were happy with the treatment they had received so far and that they were always given information about the treatment they received and how much it would cost then. They told us “staff give me paperwork and documentation to sign, I am happy with my treatment”.

We saw that polices and procedures were in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of people using the service.

We spoke to staff who told us the service was culturally diverse, we were told that reception staff were bilingual and how this helped patients whose first language was not English. One staff member told us “we want patients to be comfortable here, patient satisfaction is very important to us”.
