During an inspection in response to concerns
We looked at arrangements for the safe use of equipment, and found there were robust servicing and safety arrangements in place. This ensured people were not placed at risk by faulty or poorly maintained equipment, such as disinfectors and electrical items.
We asked for a range of records from the provider. These were located promptly, were well ordered and securely stored.
Although we did not speak to patients during this inspection, we found the provider had conducted an extensive consultation exercise with patients. This was to inform them about the damage to the practice and to offer consultations and treatment at alternative premises, but with the same dental team. We saw the feedback from patients was overwhelmingly positive.
