The Harrogate Dentist

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this on-site, announced assessment on 5 September 2024. We found the practice had met regulations. The practice had systems to manage risks and infection control procedures were in place. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. This service is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides.
