The practice had systems to manage risks and infection control procedures were in place. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance.

People's experience of the service

Updated 16 July 2024

Two weeks before our onsite assessment, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We received feedback from 4 patients. Patient feedback provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice. Comments included staff being “professional”, “kind”, “helpful” and “friendly” as well as going “above and beyond” and giving “good advice”. The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
