All Inspections

During a check to make sure that the improvements required had been made

We found that the provider acted in a timely manner to address the concerns that had been raised. They have provided evidence to show that the staff have received appropriate training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and adult safeguarding. Furthermore, we have received evidence to show that new emergency drugs and first aid kits have been purchased and installed at the surgery and that the emergency oxygen cylinder has been checked and refilled.

During a routine inspection

Patients told us that they were offered a choice of appointments that suited them. They said that the dentist discussed the various treatment options with them and they were able to go away and think about their treatment plan before making any decisions. The dentist treated both private and NHS patients and the fees for both were clearly displayed in the reception area.

There was personal protective equipment to protect people from the risk of infection. There were effective measures in place to sterilise dental equipment that was used. The equipment used in the surgery was serviced and maintained in accordance with manufacturers guidelines.

Treatment was not planned in a way that always ensured patients safety and welfare. The staff had not received recent training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and regular checks were not carried out on the emergency drugs kit or first aid kit.

Patients were not always safeguarded from the risks of abuse because staff had not received training in adult safeguarding and there was no adult safeguarding policy or procedure for raising safeguarding concerns.

Patients told us that the staff were, "helpful, courteous, polite and friendly", and "They treat you with respect at all times".
