During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced off-site inspection on 12 December 2025.
Where we carry out an offsite 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.

Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation. 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.
