During an assessment under our new approach
We found the practice had met regulations.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required.
Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance and infection control procedures were in place.
The practice had some systems to manage risks.
Tavern Street Dental Practice Ltd is in Stowmarket, Suffolk and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step free access to the practice and car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, were available in pay and display car parks near the practice.
The practice had 13 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with 1 dentist, 3 dental nurses including 2 trainee dental nurses, 3 receptionists and the practice manager.
