We undertook an announced focused inspection of Genix Healthcare - Beeston on 25 May 2016. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our inspection on 14 September 2015 had been made. We inspected the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service well led. This is because the service had not been meeting some legal requirements.

Background
Genix Healthcare - Beeston is situated in the Beeston area of Leeds. It offers mainly NHS treatment to patients of all ages but also offers private dental treatments. The services provided included routine restorative dental care, preventative advice and treatment.
The practice has four surgeries, a decontamination room, a waiting area, a reception area and disabled toilet facilities. Treatment and waiting rooms are on the ground floor of the premises.
There are four dentists, a dental hygienist, four dental nurses, two receptionists and a practice manager. They are supported by an area manager and a compliance lead.
The opening hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8-30am to 5-30pm, Wednesday 8-30am to 6-30pm, Friday 8-30am to 4-00pm and Saturday 9-00am to 3-00pm.
The practice manager is currently applying to be the registered manager. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the practice is run.
