All Inspections

31 July 2013

During a routine inspection

When we inspected Facial and Dental Aesthetic Studio on 31 July 2013 we found that people were given information about their treatment and their consent was sought. One person visiting the practice on the day of our inspection said, "We always discuss my options and agree the best approach. We agree the cost and proceed accordingly.' Another person who was undergoing some orthodontic treatment said, 'I was given information about different braces and a web address to watch a video. When I came back I signed my consent.'

People's needs were assessed and treatment was planned according to those needs. This included an assessment of people's medical history. One person said, 'I was given a written treatment plan that broke everything down with the costs and the timescales.'

The provider displayed clear information about infection control in the waiting area. Instruments were cleaned according to procedures set out in the Department of Health Guidance on decontamination.

Staff were supported by regular training including basic life support and infection control. Staff also had access to clear policies about key procedures.

The provider ensured that their practice was safe by carrying out a range of audits. They also sought feedback from people about the service with a view to making improvements.
