Broad Street Dental Practice

Updated 13 October 2016

We undertook an announced focused inspection of Broad Street Dental Practice on 28 September 2016. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 8 March 2016 had been made.

We inspected the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe? During our inspection we spoke with one of the practice owners, reviewed a range of documentation and checked two treatment rooms.

During our comprehensive inspection of this practice on 8 March 2016, we found a breach of legal requirements in relation to the Health and Social Care Act 2008. Following this inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to regulation 12- Safe Care and Treatment.

We undertook this focused inspection to check that the provider had followed their improvement plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to this requirement.

Are services Safe?

We found that this practice was providing safe care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Key findings

• Overall, we found that adequate action had been taken to address the shortfalls identified at our previous inspection and the provider was now meeting the regulations.

There were areas where the provider could make improvements and should:

• Review fire safety practices and ensure staff receive regular fire training and also undertake fire evacuation drills.

• Sign and date sharps’ bins when first used.
• Review storage for dangerous chemicals .
