We undertook a follow up focused inspection of C Watson – Camberwell Road on 12 September 2022. This inspection was carried out to review in detail the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to confirm that the practice was now meeting legal requirements.
The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who had access to a specialist dental adviser.
