Inspection-ready dentistry

Getting your practice set up

Setting up is a matter of minutes. You add your practice, your clinicians and the registrations, certificates and records you already hold, bringing everything in at once or building it up as you go. There is no drawn-out migration and nothing complicated to configure before you can start. From that point, Complys is the single, private place where your practice's compliance lives, visible only to the people you choose.

Because it is priced for a single practice rather than a corporate group, an independent surgery gets exactly the same tools as a large chain. Everything described below is included from the start, with no features held back for practices big enough to justify them.

Decontamination and HTM 01-05

Decontamination is the area a dental inspection is most associated with, and Complys gives it a proper home. Your decontamination policy, your named lead, your autoclave and washer-disinfector validation and maintenance records, your daily and periodic testing, and your decontamination audits all sit together, dated and easy to produce.

The value is not just storage but currency. Validation and servicing carry dates, and Complys warns you before they drift out of date, so the quiet lapse that so often becomes an inspection finding simply does not happen. Instead of autoclave printouts spooling into a drawer and audits nobody can find, you have a clear, current record that shows you meet HTM 01-05 as a matter of routine.

Radiography and IR(ME)R

Dental radiography brings its own scattered paperwork: equipment registration and testing, your Radiation Protection Adviser and Medical Physics Expert appointments, radiography audits, and staff radiation-protection training. Complys pulls these into a single dated record so you can show, in one place, that your registration, appointments, testing, training and audits are all current.

As with decontamination, each of these carries a renewal date that Complys tracks, so a lapsed appointment or an overdue audit is flagged in good time rather than discovered under pressure. A topic that makes practices nervous becomes something you can evidence with confidence.

GDC, DBS, indemnity and training

Every clinician needs current General Dental Council registration and appropriate indemnity, and your team needs safe recruitment checks and up-to-date training. Complys gives each member of staff a live record holding their GDC registration, DBS, indemnity, qualifications and training, each with its own renewal date.

The recurring enemy in every practice is expiry: a registration that lapses unnoticed, an indemnity certificate that renewed but was never filed, a mandatory course that quietly ran out. Complys watches those dates and warns you before anything lapses, removing a whole category of avoidable findings and a great deal of quiet worry.

Medical emergencies and clinical safety

Complys keeps your medical-emergency readiness in order: your emergency drugs and equipment tracked with their expiry dates, and your team's CPR and medical-emergency training kept current. Out-of-date emergency drugs are one of the most common and most avoidable inspection findings, and a simple dated check with reminders puts an end to them.

Alongside this sit the everyday safety records, from sharps and clinical-waste management to the building safety certificates your practice holds, all tracked in the same place so nothing is left to drift.

Inspection readiness, scored

The dental readiness dashboard is where it all comes together. Complys lists what CQC looks for in a practice, across governance, decontamination, radiography and clinical safety, and you mark where you stand against each item with a note of your evidence. Complys turns that into a live readiness score and shows you exactly which areas need work.

This makes preparing for an inspection a continuous habit rather than a last-minute effort. You keep a live picture of your readiness all year, close gaps as they appear, and walk into an inspection knowing precisely where you stand rather than hoping nothing has slipped.

Using it day to day, and on inspection day

Complys works from a phone as well as the practice computer, so records can be checked and updated wherever your team is. Because everyone works from the same live picture, compliance is a shared habit rather than one person's secret, and the reminders keep the whole practice ahead of renewals.

On the day of an inspection, everything is to hand: your readiness score, your decontamination and radiography records, your staff registrations and training, your emergency-kit checks and your building certificates, all current and dated. Instead of a frantic week beforehand, you produce a complete picture of a well-run practice in minutes.

Pricing and getting started

Complys for Dentists starts with a 30-day free trial and no card, so you can set up your practice and see your readiness before deciding anything. Pricing is based on the size of your practice, so it fits a single surgery as comfortably as a multi-surgery group, and the price you start on is locked in if prices rise later. Everything here is included in every tier, and you can be set up and seeing your readiness the same day.
