We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
We carried out an announced, follow-up inspection on 2 August 2016. The inspection team consisted of a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspector with remote access to a dental specialist advisor.
During the CQC inspection of the practice on 30 July 2015 it was identified there were concerns with regard to incident and risk management. We saw records of accidents and incidents did not identify they had been fully investigated. In addition there was no automated external defibrillator (AED) or a risk assessment in place. The provider had not met their legal obligations with regard to Regulations 17 of the Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activities) 2014. As a result a requirement notice was issued.
On 4 January 2016 the provider sent an action plan to CQC identifying the actions they would take to meet the requirements identified. This included a timescale for implementing those actions.
