All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this on-site, announced assessment on 18 October 2024. We found the practice had met all regulations. Recruitment procedures broadly 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. The practice had systems to manage risks. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance and infection control procedures were in place. Improvements were needed to ensure details of dental care provided were accurately reflected in the patient care notes. The practice is in Harlington, in the London Borough of Hillingdon, 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 were available near the practice. The practice had 2 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with 1 dentist, 2 trainee dental nurses and the administrator who also carried out compliance related duties.

During a routine inspection

During the inspection we spoke with two people using the service and all three members of staff. People told us that they were treated with respect and consideration.

People said that the dentist explained what treatment was required and the cost of the treatment before any work was carried out.

Effective systems were in place to manage infection control and prevention were in place.

People told us they would be confident to raise any concerns if they had them with the dentist. Comments we received included 'Mr Patel is absolutely wonderful, he is always up front and clear, I trust him' and 'Mr Patel is very good at explaining treatments, I have no complaints'.
