During a routine inspection
We found patient's needs were assessed and care and treatment was planned and delivered in line with their individual needs .
We found that the dentist discussed the medical history with the patient and then transferred the information onto the computer. So that this information could be considered at the start of any treatment.
We found that there were records which demonstrated decontamination audits were carried out every three months as per current guidance. This meant that the practice environment was clean and all necessary steps had been taken to reduce the risk of cross infection.
We found that all staff received professional development appropriate to their role and learning needs. They told us they were well supported.
We found that the patient records contained full and contemporaneous notes. The standard of record card keeping followed current best practice.
