Background to this inspection

Updated 1 October 2015

The inspection was undertaken on 12th May 2015 and was conducted by a CQC inspector and a Specialist Dental Advisor

To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we always ask the following five questions:

  • Is it safe?
  • Is it effective?
  • Is it caring?
  • Is it responsive to people’s needs?
  • Is it well-led?

These questions therefore formed the framework for the areas we looked at during the inspection.

Prior to the inspection we asked the practice to send us some information which we reviewed. This included the complaints they had received in the last 12 months, their latest statement of purpose, the details of their staff members and their qualifications and proof of registration with their professional bodies.

We informed NHS Area Team that we were inspecting the practice; however we did not receive any information of concern from them.

During the inspection we spoke with the dentist, dental nurse and receptionist. We also spoke with two patients. We reviewed policies, protocols, procedures and other relevant documentation.

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection on 12th May 2015.

Regulations were being met.

We found that this practice was providing safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Our key findings were:

The practice was situated in a residential area, close to public transport access. The practice offered general, preventative and cosmetic dentistry. It did not offer sedation services or domiciliary visits.

There were areas where the practice could make improvements and should:

  • Change the existing emergency medicine Diazepam to Midazolam as per BNF recommendations

Develop a short protocol about the safe management of sharps
