During a routine inspection
The manager told us that, before people are asked to sign consent forms, staff verbally go through the key points, to ensure that people understand what they are consenting to and the cost involved before any treatment takes place.
We reviewed three electronic dental records, which showed that risk assessments were carried out prior to treatment, with any medical conditional or allergies clearly highlighted.
We spoke with three members of staff and the manager, all were aware of their roles and responsibilities to safeguard children and vulnerable adults.
We observed that all areas of the premises were clean and tidy. We spoke with a nurse and they were clear about their roles and responsibilities for cleanliness and infection control.
