19th July 2018 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We carried out this announced inspection on 19 July 2018 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?

The dental team includes six dentists (three partners and three associate dentists), nine dental nurses, and two receptionists. The practice has six treatment rooms.

The practice is owned by a partnership 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 Marjory Lees Dental Centre was the senior partner.

On the day of inspection, we collected 44 CQC comment cards filled in by patients, with a further seven completed by staff and one completed by a service engineer.

During the inspection we spoke with four dentists, four dental nurses and a receptionist. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

The practice is open:

Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 5pm

Friday 8.30am to 12.30pm

Our key findings were:

  • The practice appeared clean and well maintained.
  • The practice staff had infection control procedures which reflected published guidance.
  • Staff knew how to deal with emergencies. Minor improvements were needed to the life-saving equipment available.
  • The practice had systems to help them identify and manage risk.
