31st October 2017 - During a routine inspection
We carried out this announced inspection on 31 October 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 that we were inspecting the practice. We did not receive any information of concern from them.
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.

Background
Hyde Dental Practice is in Cheshire and provides NHS and private treatment to adults and children.
There is level access for people who use wheelchairs and pushchairs. On street parking is available near the practice.
The dental team includes three dentists, seven dental nurses, (two of whom are trainees), and a dental hygienist who is also the practice manager. The practice has three treatment rooms.
The practice is owned by a company and as a condition of registration must have a person registered with the Care Quality Commission as the registered manager. 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 Hyde Dental Practice was the principal dentist.
On the day of inspection we collected 39 CQC comment cards filled in by patients. This information gave us a positive view of the practice.
During the inspection we spoke with three dentists, three dental nurses and the dental hygienist/practice manager. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.
The practice is open:
Monday to Friday 09:00 to 18:00
Our key findings were:
There were areas where the provider could make improvements and should:
22nd January 2013 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
We did not speak to people who used the service as part of this inspection. We carried out this inspection to check on the progress made since our last inspection of the service which was carried out in November 2012. Following that visit we, the Care Quality Commission, had some concerns that the provider was not meeting essential standards in relation to cleanliness and infection control. This is because they did not have effective systems in place to monitor and assess the risk of infection and there were no risk assessments or cleaning schedules in place to identify if further cleaning was required for non-clinical areas of the practice. We also had concerns that there was no programme in place to ensure staff received appropriate ongoing training in relation to infection prevention and control. During our inspection on 22 January 2013 we found the provider had addressed all of our concerns. Hyde Dental Practice Limited was meeting the essential standards for cleanliness and infection control. People were protected against the risks of acquiring an infection because the provider maintained appropriate standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
7th November 2012 - During a routine inspection
We spoke to three people who used the service. They told us they had been happy with the service they had received. One person said, “Yes, I’ve never gone anywhere else”. People told us that their treatment options had been clearly explained to them. One person said, “Yes, (they’re) very good at explaining options”. We asked people if they were happy with the levels of cleanliness in the clinic. A person told us, “It’s clean and tidy”. We found that Hyde Dental Practice provided people with appropriate information and support in relation to their treatment. Treatment was provided in a way that maintained people's privacy and dignity, by competent and properly trained staff. The provider had an effective system to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that people received. We saw that the treatment rooms and waiting areas appeared clean and tidy. There were policies in place in relation to infection control and there were clear procedures in place for the decontamination of equipment. However we found people were not always protected from the risk of infection because appropriate guidance had not been followed. This was because the provider had not followed best practice guidance in order to maintain standards of cleanliness and hygiene in relation to premises and equipment. We also found systems in place designed to monitor and assess risk of infection were not effective.
