Walmsley Dental

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced, onsite assessment on 19 November 2024. We found the practice had met regulations. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance, and infection control procedures were in place. The practice had systems to manage risks. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. The practice is in Droylsden, Greater Manchester and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children. This service is registered with CQC in respect of some, but not all of the services it provides. There are some exemptions of CQC registration which are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The service provides some non-surgical cosmetic treatments that are not in-scope of CQC registration, such as certain facial aesthetics procedures, and are therefore not included in this assessment. There was step free access to the practice and car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, were available near the practice. The practice had 5 treatment rooms. The total number of staff was 23. During the assessment we spoke with 4 dentists, 5 dental nurses, 1 receptionist and the practice manager.
