This inspection was planned to check whether the practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

We carried out an inspection of this service on 25 May 2016.

This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 14 July 2015 had been made. We reviewed the practice against four of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe, effective, caring and well-led?

The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was accompanied by a dental specialist advisor. During our inspection visit, we checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented by looking at a range of documents such as risk assessments, audits, staff records, maintenance records and policies. We also spoke with staff and carried out a tour of the premises.

Updated 5 July 2016

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this service on 14 July 2015 as part of our regulatory functions where a breach of legal requirements was found. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach.

We carried out a follow- up inspection on 25 May 2016 to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met the legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements. We revisited Addiscombe Dental Surgery as part of this review.
