We undertook an announced focused inspection at The Hollies Dental practice on 24 July 2017. The inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 14 February 2017 had been made.
We inspected the practice against two of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe and is it well-led?
During our inspection we spoke with the practice manager, one dentist and reviewed a range of documentation.
Are services Safe?
We found that this practice was providing safe care in accordance with the relevant regulations
Are services Well-led?
We found that this practice was providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Key findings
The provider had failed to address many of the shortfalls we had identified at our previous inspection. However, immediately following this second inspection, the provider sent us sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the practice was now safe and adequately well-led.
There were areas where the provider could make improvements and should:
• Embed newly implemented improvements into the practice and ensure they are sustained in the long term
