We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. 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.
We carried out a review of this service on 27 February 2017. This review was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 02 November 2016 had been made. We reviewed the practice against two of the five questions we ask about services:
- Is the service safe?
- Is the service well-led?
The review was carried out by a CQC inspector and a dental specialist advisor.
During our review, we spoke with the principal dentist, an associate dentist, a dental nurse and the practice manager. We checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented. We reviewed a range of documents including:
- Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) risk assessment
- Fire risk assessment
- Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training certificates
- Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks
- Practice policies and procedures
- Audits such as infection control, X-ray and record keeping
