5th August 2013 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
We met with the registered manager who is the senior dentist during our visit. We spoke with a dental nurse and observed some of their work. We did not speak with patients as this was not appropriate to the nature of the visit. We carried out this visit because our visit in February 2013 identified that the practice was not carrying out all the processes required by Department of Health (DoH) guidance for decontamination of dental practices. A machine used for cleaning dental instruments had not been tested in accordance with DoH guidance, audits of control of infection processes had not been carried out, staff were not wearing all protective equipment when sterilising instruments and soap was not available for staff to wash their hands before they started cleaning dental instruments. We looked at the facilities for decontamination of instruments, reviewed practice records and observed a dental nurse cleaning a surgery room and decontaminating dental instruments. The records we reviewed and processes we saw showed significant improvement. The practice had introduced processes and procedures that met DoH guidance. Patients were protected from the risk of infection because appropriate guidance had been followed.
21st February 2013 - During a routine inspection
We spoke with four patients who all told us that they were very happy with their care and treatment and found the staff friendly and helpful. We found that patient records were maintained confidentially and were a full and accurate record of treatment that had taken place. We saw evidence that the staff were trained in information governance and had a good understanding of confidentiality. We observed that the practice was very clean and that many decontamination procedures were being carried out in line with HTM 01-05 but there were omissions which an audit would have highlighted. We found the staff to be well trained and the principal dentist to have a good understanding of current guidelines. The staff hold current training in resuscitation procedures and the practice holds equipment to safely deal with any medical emergency situations which may arise.
