5th June 2017 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We carried out this announced inspection on 5 June 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 that we were inspecting the practice. We did not receive any information of concern from them.

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 well-led?

Background

Ravat & Ray Dental Care (Bolton One) is located centrally in Bolton and provides NHS and private treatment to adults and children. The practice is in large multi-occupancy university premises alongside sports factilities and other healthcare services.

There is level access for people who use wheelchairs and pushchairs. Car parking spaces, including for patients with disabled badges, are available near the practice.

The dental team includes one dentist, three dental nurses, one dental hygienist therapist and a practice manager. The practice has two 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 Ravat & Ray Dental Care (Bolton One) was the practice manager.

On the day of inspection we collected 23 CQC comment cards filled in by patients and spoke with three patients. This information gave us a positive view of the practice.

During the inspection we spoke with the dentist, two dental nurses, the practice manager and a senior manager. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.

The practice is open:

Monday 9am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-5pm

Thursday 9am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-5pm

Friday 9am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-5pm

Our key findings were:

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

There were areas where the provider could make improvements and should:
