Overall inspection

Updated 10 May 2023

We undertook a follow up comprehensive inspection of Camden Place Dental Practice on 6 April 2023. This inspection was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to confirm that the practice was now meeting legal requirements.

The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was supported by a specialist dental advisor.

We had previously undertaken a focused inspection of Camden Place Dental Practice on 1 November 2022 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. We found the registered provider was not providing safe, effective or well-led care and was in breach of regulations 12, 17 and 19 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

You can read our report of that inspection by selecting the 'all reports' link for Camden Place Dental Practice on our website www.cqc.org.uk.

When 1 or more of the 5 questions are not met, we require the service to make improvements. We then inspect again after a reasonable interval.

As part of this inspection we asked:

  • Is it safe?
  • Is it effective?
  • Is it caring?
