Our view of the service
We had previously undertaken a comprehensive inspection under our previous methodology of Old Forge House Dental Care on 13 February 2024 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. We found the registered provider was not providing safe or well-led care and was in breach of regulations 12 and 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. We undertook a follow up focused assessment on 9 July 2024. This assessment was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to confirm that the practice was now meeting legal requirements. We found the practice had met regulations. The practice had systems to manage risks. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation. Infection control procedures followed published guidance. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance. Patients were treated with dignity and respect. There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Old Forge House Dental Care is in Mickleover in Derby and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children. There is a small step to access the practice, a portable ramp is available for people who use wheelchairs and those with pushchairs. Car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, are available near the practice. The practice has made reasonable adjustments to support patients with access requirements. The dental team includes 1 dentist, 1 dental nurse and a visiting implantologist. The practice has 2 treatment rooms. During the inspection we spoke with the dentist and the dental nurse. We looked at practice policies, procedures and other records to assess how the service is managed. The practice is open: Monday and Wednesday from 9am to 5pm Tuesday from 10am to 1pm and 3pm to 8pm Thursday from 9am to 7pm Friday from 9am to 1pm
