During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced off-site inspection on 24 July 2026. Due to the practice manager being unavailable on the day of the inspection, part of the inspection was undertaken remotely on 23 July 2026.
Where we carry out an off-site assessment, we undertake a detailed review of the practice risk assessments, policies, staff records and other relevant documents. We gather feedback from patients, staff and stakeholders (where relevant). We carry out a remote visual assessment of the premises and have discussions with staff.
We found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
Staff provided care and treatment in line with current guidance. They treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
Beaufort Dental Health Centre Limited and Beaufort Dental Care is part of PortmanDentex, a dental group provider. The practice is in Burton-on-Trent and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice via a portable ramp and car parking spaces available, at the practice. On-street parking was available in the local area, and the practice was located close to local bus routes.
The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 18 staff. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 2 dentists, 1 dental nurse, and the practice manager. One of the group’s Safety and Quality Specialists was at the inspection, supporting the practice.
The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.
