28th September 2018 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We carried out this announced inspection on 28 September 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?

We found that this practice was providing effective care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Are services caring?

Are services well-led?

We found that this practice was providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Background

Poppies Dental Care is in Stretford, Manchester and provides NHS and private treatment to adults and children. They also have an NHS contract to provide orthodontic treatment to eligible patients.

There are steps at the front and rear entrances of the premises, making the practice unsuitable for wheelchair users. Plans are in place to extend the premises and improve access for patients. There is a disabled parking space with additional pay and display and on street parking near the practice.

The dental team includes nine dentists, one orthodontist, nine dental nurses (one of which is a trainee), three dental hygiene therapists, three receptionists, a practice administrator, an administration assistant, a cleaner and a practice manager. There are five treatment rooms.

The practice is owned by an individual who is the principal dentist there. They have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations about how the practice is run.

On the day of inspection, we collected 20 CQC comment cards filled in by patients.

During the inspection we spoke with four dentists including the practice principal, five dental nurses, two receptionists and the practice manager. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

The practice is open:

Monday to Thursday 8:15am to 1pm and 2pm to 5:30pm

Friday 8:15am to 12:30pm and 1pm to 4pm

Saturday 9am to 1pm

Our key findings were:

  • The practice appeared bright, clean and well maintained.
  • The provider 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 risks to patients and staff.
