British Dental Association Good Practice Scheme
The BDA Good Practice Scheme is a quality assurance programme for UK dental practices, and Diamond House Dental Practice is proud to be a member.
By becoming members of the Scheme, practices demonstrate a visible commitment to providing quality dental care to nationally recognised best practice standards. By taking part, we are committed to keeping up-to-date with current requirements in order to provide the best care for our patients.
While the Scheme and member practices can never guarantee satisfactory treatment outcomes or oral health gain, the British Dental Association believes that there is a greater likelihood of satisfactory treatment in a practice which observes the Scheme requirements. If structures and processes are right, then outcomes are more likely to be right too.
As members of the Scheme, we will:
- carefully look at the service that is provided and compare it against nationally recognised standards of good practice for patient care
- be assessed annually by the British Dental Association
- regularly carry out internal checks on working methods
- make the Good Practice Scheme commitment.
The Good Practice Scheme commitment
To be part of the Good Practice Scheme all the members of our dental team have made this commitment:
- We aim to provide dental care of consistently good quality for all our patients
- We only provide care that meets your needs and wishes
- We aim to make your treatment as comfortable and convenient as possible
- We look after your general health and safety while receiving dental care
- We follow current guidelines on infection control
- We check for mouth cancer and tell you what we find
- We take part in continuing professional development to keep our skills and knowledge up-to-date
- We train all staff in practice-wide work systems and review training plans once a year
- We welcome feedback and deal promptly with any complaints
Every member of the practice is aware of the need to work safely under General Dental Council guidelines.
