Background

Millharbour Dentistry is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and provides private and NHS dental services. The opening hours for the practice were Monday to Thursdays 8.30 – 17.00 and 8.30 to 13.00pm Fridays.

The premises consists of two treatment rooms, a decontamination rooms and waiting area.

The practice comprises a principal dentist, a nurse, a trainee dental nurse, a receptionist and a hygienist.

The principal dentists is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as an individual registered person. 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.

During the inspection we asked patients to complete CQC comment cards. We received 34 comment cards and spoke with four patients on the day of the inspection. The patients who provided feedback were positive about the care and treatment they received at the practice. They told us they were involved in all aspects of their care and found the staff to be caring, friendly and they were treated with care, dignity and respect.

Our key findings were:

  • There were effective processes in place to reduce and minimise the risk and spread of infection.
  • Patients’ needs were assessed and care was planned in line with current guidance such as from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Delivering Better Oral Health. Patients were involved in their care and treatment planning.
  • There was appropriate equipment for staff to undertake their duties and equipment was well maintained.
  • Staff were trained in and there was appropriate equipment for them to respond to medical emergencies.
  • Patients told us that staff were caring and treated them with dignity and respect.
  • Patients indicated that they felt they were listened to and that they received good care from a helpful and caring practice team.
  • There were processes in place for patients to give their comments and feedback about the service including making complaints and compliments.
  • There were good governance arrangements and an effective management structure.

There were areas where the provider could make improvements and should

  • Review staff awareness of the requirements of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 and ensure all staff are aware of their responsibilities under the Act as it relates to their role.
  • Review its audit protocols to ensure audits of various aspects of the service, such as radiography and dental care records are undertaken at regular intervals to help improve the quality of service. Practice should also ensure, that where appropriate audits have documented learning points and the resulting improvements can be demonstrated.
  • Review the practice’s protocols for the use of rubber dam for root canal treatment taking into account guidelines issued by the British Endodontic Society.

Patients told us that they were happy with the standard of care provided in this modern practice. They understood the care and treatment choices available to them and told us they had received “good treatment”. Patients were given a detailed written treatment plan with the associated costs.

We found a very clean dental practice where the provider and her staff were keen to demonstrate the level of care provided to patients.

Patient’s were protected from the risk of infection because appropriate guidance had been followed. Staff were appropriately qualified and trained to undertake their roles. Records were stored securely.
