Scarsdale Dental Clinic

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this off-site, announced assessment on 27 August 2024. Where we carry out an offsite assessment, we undertake a detailed review of the practice risk assessments, policies, staff records and other relevant documents. We gather feedback from patients, staff and stakeholders (where relevant). We carry out a remote visual assessment of the premises and have discussions with staff. We found the practice had met regulations. The practice had systems to manage risks. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation. Infection control procedures followed published guidance. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance. Patients were treated with dignity and respect. At the time of our assessment, patients could access care, support and treatment when required. There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Scarsdale Dental Clinic is part of PortmanDentex a dental group provider. The practice is in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
