People's experience of this service
Two weeks before our assessment, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We received feedback from 1 patient through our giving feedback on care system, which was positive. On the day of assessment, we spoke with 2 patients. Their response provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice. The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken. The provider gathered feedback from staff through meetings, surveys, and informal discussions. Staff were encouraged to offer suggestions for improvements to the service and said these were listened to and acted on where appropriate. Staff gathered feedback from patients, the public and external partners and demonstrated a commitment to acting on feedback. Patients commented positively about the standards of cleanliness.
