During a routine inspection
We found by speaking and observing staff that there were effective systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection.
We found by speaking with staff and reviewing records that the dentist and dental nurse were registered with the General Dental Council and a number of training events had been organised for them to attend.
St Johns Dental Practice had been operating for a short period of time at the time of our inspection and the dentist spoke of their plans for the future development of the service. For the purposes of quality assurance and the development of the practice the dentist had commissioned the services of an external organisation to support them with compliance, recording and training. A comprehensive action plan had been provided which the dentist was using to develop the service.
