Background
Dr John P. Siwek BDS Dental Practice is situated at the junction of Harehills Lane and the A64 York Road in a terraced block of commercial properties. There is one dentist who works a total of 20 hours per week. The dentist is supported by a trainee dental nurse and a receptionist. The premises are not wheelchair accessible; patients requiring wheel chair access can be referred to another practice or to the Community Dental Service. There is one surgery in use upstairs and three unused surgeries.
The practice is open from 8.30am to 12.30pm and 1pm to 2pm Monday to Thursday. The practice also closes for three weeks each summer. The dentist has an arrangement with a neighbouring dental practice to provide cover for when the practice is closed during normal working hours.
For urgent care out of hours, patients are directed to the NHS 111 service which triages the call and passes the details to Local Care Direct who is the out of hour’s provider.
The principal dentist is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as an individual. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the practice is run.
During the inspection we spoke to three patients and received 41 completed comment cards. Patient feedback was strongly and consistently positive; comments included that staff were professional, caring, friendly and helped patients feel at ease.
