All Inspections

During an inspection looking at part of the service

This report is a follow up to our report published in May 2013. We had inspected this provider on 17 April 2013, when we noted some issues which had a minor impact on people using the service. These related to standards regarding supporting workers and raising complaints. The provider did not ensure that people who use the service were cared for by staff who were supported to deliver treatment safely. We also noted that there was no effective complaints system available. We set compliance actions requiring the provider to take steps to comply with Regulations 19 and 23 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010.

We made a further visit on 21 June 2013 to check on the action the provider had taken to meet the requirements of the regulations. We found that the provider had taken appropriate and sufficient action to comply with the regulations.

17 April 2013

During a routine inspection

During our inspection we were unable to speak with people who use the service as no appointments were booked on the day we visited the clinic.

The information regarding the charges was easily available to each of the people visiting the practice.

People's needs were assessed and care and support was planned and delivered in line with their individual support plan.

We saw that the clinic and the equipment used were clean and there were suitable procedures to ensure people were not at risk of health care associated infections.

The dentist working at the clinic was suitably qualified and held appropriate registration with the organisation regulating dental professionals. We noted that they maintained their knowledge and skills related to their professional practice. However, only minimal support was offered to the dental nurse working at the practice.

The provider did not have systems in place to make sure patients were provided with the information on how to complain and to ensure their comments were listened to and acted on effectively.
