The BDA scheme is designed to recognise high standards of care, excellent teamwork and commitment to providing a positive patient experience and the gold standard represent 15 years of adhering to the high standards set out by the British Dental Association.
We are one of the first dental practices in Leicester to achieve Gold Membership of the British Dental Association Good Practice Scheme. President of the BDA Dr Barry McGonigle said: “Gold Membership is a symbol of a decade of commitment, hard work and dedication; all practices honoured with the award should be very proud.”
What does membership to the Good Practice Scheme mean for our Leicester patients?
It means that we are totally committed to supporting patients towards achieving and maintaining good oral health. Achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients depends upon the skills and professionalism of the whole dental team.
Good Practice Scheme membership means that:
1. We will work with you to provide care that meets your needs and wishes. We will explain what we are proposing to do and tell you about any significant risks. We will explain options and cost so that you can make an informed choice about your care and we keep all information about you confidential
2. We look after your general health and safety whilst you are receiving dental care by undertaking risk assessments and managing any potential hazards at our premises. Infection control and cleanliness is also essential for safety and we follow current guidelines on preventing cross infection
3. All our staff are given training in practice procedures, staff members responsibilities are clear and staff take part in continuing professional education to keep their skills and knowledge up to date
4. Our practice working methods are reviewed regularly and we ask patients for their views on our service in order to identify any opportunities for improvement.
