All Inspections

9 May 2013

During a routine inspection

We spoke with four people using the service who told us they were involved in making decisions about their treatment and given oral health advice. People also told us their treatment was explained to them, including the risks and benefits, and they were always asked to consent before their treatment was provided.

We reviewed electronic records of seven people using the service, which showed a plan of their treatment and included the routine check-up period appropriate for their oral health. One person told us: "My treatment is always explained to me, and they check every time that my health hasn't changed since the last visit.'

People were provided treatment in a clean, hygienic environment. There were systems and processes to ensure that people were protected from the risk of infection.

We spoke with three staff members who told us they were very well supported in their role by the service provider.

We were shown audits, and assessments performed by the provider that were used to monitor and check the quality of the service provided at David Ransom and Associates Dental Surgeons practice.
