Ripponden Dental Care

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced, on-site assessment on 7 January 2025. We found the practice had met regulations. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance, and infection control procedures were in place. The practice had systems to manage risks. The assessment highlighted some additional risks in relation to radiographs, medical emergencies and medicine management which were acted on immediately. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Systems to audit could be improved. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. The practice is in Ripponden and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children. There was step-free access to the practice which is all on ground floor level. On street parking is available near the practice. The practice had 3 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with 2 dentists, dental nurses, receptionists and the practice manager.
