This inspection was planned to check whether the practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

We carried out a review of this service on 8 March 2017 to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 13 June 2016 had been made. We reviewed the practice against three of the five questions we ask about services: is this service safe, effective and well-led?

The review was undertaken by a CQC inspector and a specialist dental advisor.

During our inspection we checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented by looking at a range of documents such as risk assessments, audits, maintenance records and policies.  We also spoke with the manager of the practice and staff.
