‘A Healthier Dorset’
What is it?
• A new system of regulation that is required by law
(Health & Social Care Act 2008)
• Legislation sets out the requirements of the essential
standards of quality and safety – they are NOT
aspirational best practice
• Acceptable level below which performance must not
drop
• The standards are about people’s experiences of care –
it is NOT about:
– Checklists, or
– Policy checking

Service Type
Dental services (DEN)
CQC definition:
These services involve registered dentists and dental care
professionals usually working in premises designed for consultation
and treatments but can also be provided in a person’s place of
residence. Consultations and examinations will involve discussion
of the treatment options with the patient and may include dental
radiography. Treatment is usually provided in a dedicated room
and, in consultation with the patient, may be under local anaesthetic
or laser. Medicines may be prescribed as part of the treatment.

‘A Healthier Dorset’
Enhanced CRB disclosure?
Although not as a result of CQC’s requirements, most staff within a
dental practice are likely to carry out regulated activities and
therefore their employer, to be in a position to declare compliance
with Regulation 21 would be required to obtain an enhanced CRB
check:
- NHS Dorset will arrange enhanced CRB’s for all dentists on
their Performers List that do not yet have one, you may apply to the
PCT during the first 2 weeks of November;
- all other staff: dental nurse, hygienist, receptionist etc. the
CRB does not have to be countersigned by the CQC nor is there
any requirement for PCT involvement.

‘A Healthier Dorset’
3 dentists, each with own NHS contract, working in
the same location
TWO OPTIONS:
1. Register individually – pay separate fees;
2. Agree between them that one will take on the legal responsibility of
registering as the provider (this dentist will be known as the ‘registered
provider’), HOWEVER it is strongly recommended that this agreement is
formalised;
the other 2 dentists will still have professional accountability and
clinical responsibility for the patients that they treat, whilst the
registered provider will have responsibility relating to the overall
provision of service, of which the other 2 dentists are part;
the other 2 dentists will be considered as ‘employees’ for the
purpose of registration
-
‘A Healthier Dorset’
If one of the dentists has a private practice and has registered his
business at Companies House AND holds an NHS contract?
The dentist will register separately as ‘an organisation’ and therefore will be
required to declare details of the nominated individual and the registered
manager.
-
This dentist can in effect be the Registered Provider; the Nominated
Individual; and the Registered Manager.
Is this dentist required to complete a separate Application for a Registered
Manager?????
‘A Healthier Dorset’
The dentist has an NHS code for one practice but also has a
company for private practice, does he register twice?
Yes, if the companies are truly separate and have separate
company numbers registered at Companies House;
BUT
Where a provider has two separate practices (locations¹) but
one carries out NHS work and the other location carries out
private work this can be one registration (as previous slide)
¹ a primary dental service OR a place where regulated activities are managed from
‘A Healthier Dorset’
Can an associate register as an individual?
If an associate is self-employed and works across multiple providers
they may register as an individual with multiple locations. The
associate dentist my work privately across multiple locations and
wish to retain their own autonomy and register separately. Will be
liable for separate fee.
However, they may want to be or automatically be covered by the
registration of the providers at the locations they work, in which
cases the dentist must have a conversation with those providers to
ensure they are covered by those registrations.
