4th September 2018 - During a routine inspection
We carried out this announced inspection on 4 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.

Background
Ravat and Ray Dental Care (Chorley) Ltd is located in Chorley, Lancashire and provides NHS and private treatment to adults and children.
There is level access for people who use wheelchairs and those with pushchairs. A car park is available outside the surgery, with allocated spaces for blue badge holders.
The dental team includes four dentists, eight dental nurses, one of whom is a trainee and one dental hygiene therapist. A practice manager is supported by two reception staff and a patient service advisor.
The practice has four treatment rooms, an x-ray development suite and a decontamination facility.
The practice is owned by an organisation and as a condition of registration must have a person registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) 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 of the practice has recently left. CQC are in receipt of an application from the new practice manager, who will be the Registered Manager.
On the day of inspection, we collected 21 CQC comment cards filled in by patients.
During the inspection we spoke with two dentists, one dental nurse, one receptionist, the general manager providing cover for the practice manager, and the group operations manager. We looked at practice policies and procedures and other records about how the service is managed.
The practice is open Monday and Thursday from 8am to 7pm; on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8am to 6pm. NHS patients that require treatment outside of these hours are referred to the out of hours service provided by the Lancashire Area Team. Patients who have a private dental plan in place, have access to dental services at other practices locally, within that private scheme.
