During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced, onsite assessment on 8 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 reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. The practice should implement an effective recruitment procedure to ensure that appropriate checks are completed prior to new staff commencing employment at the practice. 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 Barrow in Furness and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
