We returned to the service on 17 May 2013 to check whether improvements had been made. We saw all required documents were now in place. The manager was aware these checks would be necessary for any future staff recruited at the practice.
We were satisfied improvements had been made to protect the safety and welfare of people using the service.
We found appropriate records were being kept of people's treatment. People had signed to consent to treatment. Parents or guardians had signed on behalf of children. The practice was equipped to deal with emergencies and staff had received training in basic life support.
Effective infection control practices were in place. Staff had received training on infection control and thorough decontamination procedures were used.
We found people were being put at risk of harm due to ineffective recruitment procedures. There was no recruitment policy to provide guidance on which checks and clearances were required.
Records were accurate and kept up to date. We found confidential records were kept secure to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive information.
In this report the name of a registered manager appears who was not in post and not managing the regulatory activities at this location at the time of the inspection. Their name appears because they were still a Registered Manager on our register at the time.
