All Inspections

9 January 2014

During a routine inspection

We spoke with two patients. One patient commented, '..I had time to think it through and when I was ready I signed to confirm I was happy with to go ahead with the treatment.' This showed consent was sought before people received treatment. Another patient said, 'I have always got an appointment. The practice sends reminders via text, I am given an appointment card when I'm leaving and I am sent a text reminder a day before the appointment.' This meant people were able to get to see the dentist when they needed to.

The practice manager told us about a recent safeguarding incident that occurred with an adult. We saw this was handled appropriately and in line with their safeguarding adult policy. This showed the practice knew how to identify; report and respond appropriately to suspected abuse because there were clear procedures for staff to follow.

One staff told us, 'I sent my CV and was asked to attend an interview. Once it was confirmed I was successful, I was helped with everything. Before I signed my contract references were sought and CRB was undertaken.' This showed there effective recruitment and selection processes in place.

Patients fed back on various aspect of the service. The majority said they were seen on time and were happy with the service. This showed the practice sought the views of people who used the service and those acting on their completed behalf and acted on them.
