Background

Moira Wong Orthodontics is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and provides private orthordontic services for children and some adults. The opening hours for the practice are

Monday – Friday 9am – 8pm and Saturday 10am – 3pm.

The premises consists of three treatment room, a decontamination room and a waiting area.

The practice comprises of a principal dentist, four dentists, a hygienist, a orthodontic Therapist, two dental nurses and a practice manager.

The orthodontic therapist was the registered manager for the practice. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. 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 reviewed 17 completed CQC comment cards and spoke with three 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 professional, friendly and helpful and they were treated with 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 best practice guidance such as from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) .Patients were involved in their care and treatment planning.
  • There was appropriate equipment for staff to undertake their duties and equipment was well maintained.

  • Patients told us that staff were caring and treated them with dignity and respect.

  • 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 the protocols for obtaining and maintaining accurate, complete and detailed records relating to staff employed for the purpose of carrying on the regulated activities, giving due regard to current legislation and guidance.
  • 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 the practice’s safeguarding training ensuring it covers both children and adults and all staff are trained to an appropriate level for their role and aware of their responsibilities.
