18th July 2017 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

 

We carried out this announced inspection on 18 July 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.

We told the NHS England area team and Healthwatch that we were inspecting the practice. They provided information which we took into account.

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:

Registered managers have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations about how the practice is run. The registered manager at Genix Healthcare Dental Clinic – Middlesbrough was the compliance lead.

On the day of inspection we collected eight CQC comment cards filled in by patients. This information gave us a positive view of the practice.

During the inspection we spoke with the compliance lead, the practice manager, a dentist and a dental nurse. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

  • Review the practice’s radiography procedures and protocols to ensure the recommendations from the X-ray maintenance tests are implemented.
  • Review staff awareness of Gillick competency and the requirements of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 and ensure all staff are aware of their responsibilities as it relates to their role.
