18th July 2014 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
When we inspected on 19 July 2013, staff were unaware of who to contact if they had safeguarding concerns. This meant that the provider was failing to comply with the requirements of Regulation 11 HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010. At this inspection, staff were aware of possible signs of abuse and how to report concerns. When we inspected in 2013, the provider had not undertaken infection control audits in accordance with Department of Health guidance. This meant that the provider was failing to comply with the requirements of Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (HSCA) (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010. At this inspection, we saw that audits had taken place. When we inspected in 2013, Disclosure and Barring (DBS) Service checks were not available. This meant that the provider was failing to comply with the requirements of Regulation 21 HSCA 2008. At this inspection, we saw that the provider had DBS checks on file and judged that the action taken was sufficient to comply with the requirements of the regulation. When we inspected in 2013, the provider did not have a Registered Manager in post. This meant that the provider was failing to comply with the requirements of Regulation 22 HSCA 2008. At the time of this inspection, a registered manager was in post. We judged that the action taken was sufficient to comply with the requirements of the regulation.
19th July 2013 - During a routine inspection
The Swiss Cottage Dental Clinic provides services to NHS and private patients. Three dentists work at the clinic, one full time and two part time. Patients told us that the practice was “very good, staff are friendly and very helpful.” They also said that that “the dentist explains everything” and that they found the clinic to be clean. We noted that patients’ needs were suitably assessed and treatment offered met their individual needs. Patients’ records were appropriately maintained and dentists provided patients with relevant information regarding their treatment. We found that patients were not protected from risk of acquiring health care associated infection. The provider did not carry out regular infection control audits. Some of the instruments used were damaged. The provider did not offer training in safeguarding adults and children and some staff were not aware how to recognise and prevent abuse. Staff were suitably qualified. However, the provider did not always carry out appropriate checks on staff prior to them commencing employment. The provider had not appointed a registered manager since November 2011. This meant that patients' care was not overseen by an appropriate person. Patients told us that they felt confident to raise any concerns with the provider. The provider had an appropriate complaints policy.
