Background to this inspection

Updated 22 June 2016

We undertook a desk based inspection of Mr. John Glassby - Kingston Square on 25 May 2016. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our inspection on 13 October 2015 had been made. We inspected the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service well led. This is because the service was not meeting some legal requirements.

The inspection was carried out by a CQC inspector.

During the inspection we spoke with one of the dentists and the practice manager and supporting evidence was sent to the inspector to confirm our findings.
