During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 14 April 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 inspection, could access care, support and treatment when required.

Quedgeley House Dental Practice is part of Rodericks, a dental group provider. The practice is in Gloucester and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice and dedicated car parking spaces outside the practice.

The practice had 4 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection there were 6 dentists, 5 dental nurses (including 3 trainees), 2 dental hygienists, 3 receptionists and the practice manager. The team was supported during the inspection by a group compliance manager.

We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 dentist, 1 trainee dental nurse, 1 dental hygienist, 1 receptionist, the practice manager, who is also the practice’s registered manager, and the group compliance manager.

During a routine inspection

When we visited Quedgeley House dental practice we spoke to the registered manager, the practice manager, the nurse trainer, a dental nurse, a dentist and three patients. We observed how reception staff communicated with patients in the waiting area and the practice's decontamination room procedures. We also spoke to two patients on the telephone about their dental care.

Patients told us that the dentist had always asked about their medical history at every visit and explained their treatment to them before they signed a treatment consent form. We looked at treatment plans and the information that had been given to patients about procedures, for example dental implants. Computerised treatment plans had been recorded that detailed each visit and also alerted clinicians to any health related concerns.

We spoke to six patients they told us, "the best dentist I have ever been to", "good opening times", "explanations from the dentist were good", "the staff are very friendly" and "it was wonderful, they have given me my confidence back and spent time reassuring me". One person had concerns but was uncertain about raising them. We asked the manager to contact them.

There were effective systems in place to reduce the risk of infection and clinical staff knew about the decontamination procedures. The staff were trained and records were kept of their continuing professional development
