10th April 2017 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We carried out this announced inspection on 10 April 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 and Healthwatch that we were inspecting the practice. They provided information which we took into account.

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 responsive?

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

Are services well-led?

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

People told us that the dentist explained all the procedures and treatments to them and respected their decisions about their treatment and care. One person said, “The dentist is very good, they explain everything to me. I have no fear factor coming here.”

People who used the service told us they were satisfied and/or ‘happy’ with the care and treatment they received at the practice. They told us, "Its very good here, I’ve never had any problems. They fit me in straight away if I need an urgent appointment” and “the staff and dentists are really good, all my family come here, we are very satisfied with this practice.”

The provider had a satisfactory recruitment and selection procedure in place to ensure that staff were appropriately employed.

We found people received care and treatment in a clean environment with infection control measures in place to minimise the risk of infection. People we spoke with told us the practice was always clean and tidy. People told us the surgery was “very clean” and “spotless.”

The provider had an appropriate system in place for gathering, recording and evaluating information about the quality and safety of care the service provided. People who used the service were asked for their views about their care and treatment.
