During an inspection looking at part of the service
We asked the provider to send us an action plan to demonstrate how they would meet the regulations. The purpose of this visit was to check if the provider was compliant with the regulations. We found that all of the actions identified within the provider's action plan had been fully achieved and compliance with the regulations now reached.
We saw that the provider was now appropriately registered with the Information Commissioner's Office for data protection purposes and that staff demonstrated an understanding of data protection. Policies relating to infection control, spillages and blood borne viruses, cleaning and maintenance, decontamination of dental instruments and complaints had all been reviewed and updated. Immunisation records for all staff were now in place and demonstrated all staff were appropriately vaccinated against infectious diseases.
