31st May 2013 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
When we inspected on 21 March 2013, we saw that the provider used an autoclave machine to sterilise cleaned dental instruments. However, we were concerned that the provider had not retained all of the daily test strip results. We asked the provider to take action on this issue. When we inspected again on 31 May 2013, we saw that on each day that sterilisation was carried out, the test cycle number was recorded and test strip physically attached. We also saw that the provider had added this as a task on its daily decontamination check list. This meant that the provider had systems in place to protect people from the risk of infection in relation to reusable medical devices.
21st March 2013 - During a routine inspection
The provider told us that prior to any treatment, an oral examination took place, followed by a consultation where treatment options, benefits, risks and fees were explained. We spoke with three people who used the service. They told us that they understood the care and treatment choices available. We saw that patient care was continually assessed and documented. New patients were asked to complete a confidential medical history questionnaire which was updated at each visit. Any existing or new medical conditions were discussed before treatment commenced. The provider was able to demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. Staff had received safeguarding training and were able to describe possible symptoms of abuse such as physical marks and/or a withdrawn personality. There were effective systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection. We saw that the waiting area and treatment room were clean and clutter free. People we spoke with were positive about cleanliness levels, with one person referring to the environment as, “spotless.” We looked at provider records and saw that the autoclave unit had been serviced in October 2012. We also saw that the provider kept print outs showing the parameters of each cycle of use but had not retained all of the corresponding daily test cycle print outs. None of the people we spoke with expressed concerns about the accuracy or confidentiality of patient records.
