Halton Road Dental Practice

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site assessment on 4 March 2025. We found the practice had met regulations. Infection control procedures in place were effective. The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. Halton Road Dental Practice is in Runcorn and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children. There was step-free access to the practice from the rear of the building and car parking spaces were available near the practice. The practice had 6 treatment rooms. At the time of our assessment, there was a total of 26 staff, of which there were 5 dentists, 4 dental therapists, 9 qualified dental nurses, 5 trainee dental nurses, 2 receptionists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our assessment, including 4 dentists, 2 dental nurses, 2 dental therapists, and the practice manager (who was also a qualified dental nurse). The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of regulation and are not covered in our assessment.
