The CQC carried out a routine scheduled inspection at the dental practice in January 2013 to check that essential standards of quality and safety are being met by staff and processes.
Five of the 16 essential standards were assessed on this occasion, including respecting and involving people who use services; care and welfare of people who use services; cleanliness and infection control; staffing; and complaints.
The CQC advisor looked at the personal care or treatment records of people who use the service, observed how people were being cared for and talked with both patients and staff.
After inspection of national standards of quality and safety at the dental practice, all standards were found to be met. This means that you can rest assured that we do everything we can to provide you with a premium service in a safe and considerate environment.
The CQC is the regulator for the healthcare sector; it is their responsibility to check whether hospitals, care homes and care services are meeting essential standards. In the last five years dental practices were added to their remit, meaning that all NHS and private practices have to ensure they meet the CQC standards of care.
