Trinity Dental Care

Updated 13 May 2016

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. 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.

We carried out a review of this service on 04 May 2016. This review was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 11 February 2016 had been made. We reviewed the practice against two of the five questions we ask about services:

• Is the service caring?
• Is the service well-led?

The service was not previously meeting these two legal requirements.

The review was led by a CQC inspector who had access to remote advice from a dental specialist advisor.

During our review, we spoke with the principal dentist and checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented. We reviewed a range of documents including:

• Installation of a door to the treatment room

• COSHH risk assessment

• Legionella risk assessment

• Fire risk assessment

• IRMER training certificate

• Pressure vessel check

• DBS checks

• PAT testing certificate

• Staff appraisals

• Purchase receipt for order of a spacer, bag valve mask, child size oxygen mask, portable suction

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this service on 11 February 2016 as part of our regulatory functions where two breaches of legal requirements were found. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach.

We followed up on our inspection of 11 February 2016 to check that the practice had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met the legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements. We have not revisited the Trinity Dental Care as part of this review because Trinity Dental Care were able to demonstrate that they were meeting the standards without the need for a visit.
