Two weeks before our assessment, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. Seven comments were received and all views expressed by patients were positive. Comments included: “Excellent service, great aftercare, always welcoming”, “Visit couldn’t have gone any better, the dentist put me at ease” and “Lovely people, very warm and friendly”. The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken. Staff gathered feedback from patients, the public and external partners and demonstrated a commitment to acting on feedback. Patients commented positively about the standards of cleanliness.
