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. However, the provider should improve the sharps safety protocols.
The practice had systems to manage risks. However, the assessment highlighted some additional risks in relation to medical emergencies and fire safety which were acted on immediately.
The practice is in Lindley, Huddersfield and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children. The service is also known as Huddersfield Endodontics and endodontic referrals are accepted from other practices.
There was step-free access to the practice and on-site parking, including dedicated parking for disabled people.
The practice had 3 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with 2 dentists, 2 dental nurses and the practice manager.
