Our current view of the service

Updated 25 April 2025

We carried out this announced off-site inspection on 11 July 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.

Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.

Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and 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.

People's experience of the service

Updated 25 April 2025

Two weeks before our off-site inspection, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We received direct feedback from 18 patients.

Patients told us that they were happy with the treatments they received, access to appointments and how staff interacted with them

We were shown patient feedback, collected by the practice. The majority of patients stated they were either extremely likely or likely to recommend the practice.

 

We reviewed online patient feedback. Overall, patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with the treatment they received. The practice responded to all online feedback and where concerns were raised, they advised the individual to contact them directly. Comments included: “The dentist was gentle and professional”, “Staff always take time to explain everything”, “I am a very nervous and staff made me feel relaxed.”

Some patients commented that appointments were often cancelled and that sometimes reception staff were not always kind or welcoming.

 

The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
