All Inspections

21 January 2014

During a routine inspection

The service is on the first floor of a shared building with stair access only. There were two surgeries, a reception area, a waiting room and a toilet and all areas were visibly clean and well equipped. The practice carried out a wide range of NHS and private treatments. On the day of our inspection there were two dentists, and one nurse working at the practice. We were unable to speak with any patients as there were no consultations during our visit, but we looked at patient feedback forms and saw that many positive comments had been made about the practice. We found that before people received any care or treatment they were asked for their consent and the provider acted in accordance with their wishes as evidenced in the patient records we looked at.

We found that care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way that ensured people's safety and welfare and the premises was appropriate and safe, and that the required safety procedures were in place. The service had robust procedures in place for staff recruitment and support and the provider had an effective quality assurance system so that people's feedback on the service was listened to and acted upon.
