The purpose of the Combined Practice Inspection (CPI) is to support Health Boards to assure the quality and safety of care being provided in general dental services in Scotland. To help ensure the CPI process and checklist continue to be fit for purpose and meet the needs of all stakeholders, a CPI Working Group will be undertaking a comprehensive review and update. The working group is facilitated by the Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme team at NHS Education for Scotland.
To inform the review and update, the CPI Working Group invites dentists to feed back their views and/or experiences of the inspection process and checklist. The inspection process includes preparation for inspection, the inspection visit and any post-inspection requirements.
