We undertook a follow up focused inspection of The Broadway Dental Practice on 29 April 2022. This inspection was carried out to review in detail the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to confirm that the practice was now meeting legal requirements.
The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was supported by a specialist dental adviser.
We undertook a focused inspection of The Broadway Dental Practice on 9 September 2021 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 – Safe care and treatment and 17 – Good governance of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
