On Tuesday 12th February 2008 543 Dental Centre has accredited with the British Dental Association (BDA) Good Practice Scheme. The Good Practice Scheme helps 543 Dental Centre Dental Practice to comply and be aware of the nationally agreed standards of good practice. By meeting the requirements of the scheme, 543 Dental Centre is aiming to provide the best care for their patients.
As these nationally agreed standards of good practice change, or are added to, the Good Practice Scheme will be amended to include these changes. This means that the dentists working at 543 Dental Centre will be encouraged to keep up to date and provide the best care for our and their patients.
To participate in the Scheme 543 Dental Centre has had to do the following -
- Carefully looked at the service that is provided to patients and compared it against nationally recognised standards of good practice for patient care. There are 96 aspects that have to be checked
- 543 Dental Centre had to prepare a dossier about the practice to show that they are meeting the Good Practice Scheme's requirements. The BDA ask to see parts of the dossier before a practice joins the Scheme
- 543 Dental Centre has to agree to let Good Practice Scheme inspectors visit the practice whenever they want to
- 543 Dental Centre has to continue to carry out their own internal checks on working methods
Membership lasts for three years; at the end of this time 543 Dental Centre has to reapply and demonstrate that they are still complying with nationally recognised standards of good practice. By displaying the current year on the Good Practice plaque on the front of our building, the practice shows that Scheme membership is up to date.
