Background
Eccleston Dental Practice is located in the village of Eccleston, on the outskirts of Chorley. The practice is accessed from the rear of the building. All facilities are located on the upper floor of the building accessed by a staircase. The practice provides a full range of treatments for those using National Health Services (NHS) and private treatments are also available if required. Two dentists, two dental hygienists and five dental nurses work at the practice. Because access to the practice is limited for patients with restricted mobility then visits to patients in their own home are provided. The practice is open from 9.00am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday.
The practice owner is the registered manager. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the practice is run.
We reviewed 45 CQC comment cards on the day of our visit and spoke with three patients during the inspection. Patients spoke highly of the staff and the standard of care provided by the practice.

"I have been coming here for years. Ever since it opened. I don't even live in the area any more, but I continue to come here for my dental care, as I am happy with the treatment I receive from everyone."
