High Peak Dental Care provides dental services to mostly private and some National Health Service (NHS) patients. The dental surgery is located in Chapel-en-le-Frith in the Peak District. We carried out this inspection on 30 March 2015, to check whether the practice had met the standard for supporting workers. The inspection was carried out by one CQC inspector.

Previous inspections on the 22 August 2013, 13 February 2014 and 15 July 2014 and 9 September 2014 found that High Peak Dental Care was not meeting the standard for supporting workers, as staff were not appropriately supported to carry out their work. We served a warning notice on 23 July 2014 requiring that High Peak Dental Care meet the above standard by 1 September 2014.
At our inspection 9 September we found that the service had made some improvements but was not yet meeting the required standard for supporting workers.
We carried out this inspection on 30 March 2015, to check whether the practice had met the standard for supporting workers. We did not speak with any patients on this occasion.
We found that improvements had been made and the practice was now meeting the required standard.
An appraisal system was in place and records showed that all six staff had received a recent appraisal of their work. Staff we spoke with told us they felt supported and had adequate training to carry out their role.
