All Inspections

During an inspection looking at part of the service

We visited Mr Maguire to check on improvments made since our visit on 09 January 2013. We did not speak with any patients of Mr Maguire during this visit. When we visited Mr Maguire on 09 January 2013 we spoke with eight people who were patients of Mr Maguire. All spoke highly of the service they received. One person told us, "I am one hundred per cent happy, I've been a patient here for fifteen years."

When we visited Mr Maguire on 09 January 2013 we found that medical histories we not always up to date. When we visited on 08 August 2013 we looked at the records for six people and found that they all had an up to date medical history on their file.

When we visited on 09 January 2013 we found that patients were not always offered protective eye wear during treatment. When we visited on 08 August 2013 we observed two people receiving dental treatment both of whom were offered protective eye wear.

When we visited Mr Maguire on 09 January 2013 we found that there was no written cleaning schedules or audits of general cleanliness. When we visited on 08 August 2013 we saw that a cleaning checklist had been introduced for the treatment rooms and for the patients toilet which staff signed each time the areas were cleaned.

9 January 2013

During a routine inspection

We spoke with eight people who were patients of Mr Maguire. All spoke highly of the service they received. People told us that Mr Maguire always kept to his appointment times and did not keep patients waiting. One person told us, 'I am one hundred percent happy, I've been a patient here for fifteen years.'

We found that medical histories we not up to date for all patients. This means that the dentist may not have up to date information about the persons current medical conditions, medication and allergies.

We saw that although all areas of the practice looked clean and tidy there was no written schedule to describe which areas should be cleaned and the standards of cleanliness expected. We also found that there were no audits of general cleanliness or infection control measures.
