Dental Surgery

Updated 15 May 2017

We undertook an announced focused inspection of the Dental Surgery on 20 April 2017. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 4 October 2016 had been made.

We inspected the practice against three of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe effective and well-led?

During our inspection we spoke with both dentists and two dental nurses. We reviewed a range of documentation and checked the premises.

During our announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 4 October 2016 we found breaches of legal requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in relation to regulation 17- Good Governance and regulation 19- Fit and proper persons employed.

We undertook this focused inspection to check that the provider now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to these requirements.

Key findings

• Overall, we found that effective action had been taken to address the shortfalls identified at our previous inspection. The provider must now ensure that the newly implemented improvements are embedded and sustained in the long- term in the practice.
