We carried out this on-site, announced assessment on 7 October 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 did not reflect current legislation. 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 Lichfield and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children. 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. During the assessment we spoke with 3 dentists, 2 dental nurses, 1 dental therapist, 2 receptionists, the practice manager and the practice support manager.
