Ramsbottom Dental Care

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced, onsite assessment on 12 November 2024. We found the practice had not met all regulations. Recruitment checks had not been carried out in accordance with relevant legislation to enable them to employ suitable staff, including agency and locum staff. However, patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance, and infection control procedures were in place. The practice had systems to manage risks. There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. The practice is in Ramsbottom and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children. There was step free access to the practice and car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, were available near the practice. The practice had 5 treatment rooms. The total number of staff was 18. During the assessment we spoke with 3 dentists, 3 dental nurses, 2 receptionists and the practice manager.
