The Good Practice Scheme

The BDA Good Practice Scheme offers practices a way of telling their patients that they are committed to working to a standard of good practice set by the profession's national association.

Dr Benison’s Dental Practice successfully completed and was awarded the Good Practice Guide in August 2008.

At the heart of the scheme is the Good Practice Scheme commitment: a ten point statement of quality service provision.

1. We aim to provide dental care of consistently good quality for all patients

2. We only provide care that meets your needs and wishes

3. We aim to make your treatment as comfortable and convenient as possible

4. We look after your general health and safety while receiving dental care

5. We follow current guidelines on infection control

6. We check for mouth cancer and tell you what we find

7. We take part in continuing professional development to keep our skills and knowledge up-to-date

8. We train all staff in practice-wide work systems and review training plans once a year

9. We welcome feedback and deal promptly with any complaints

10. Every member of the practice is aware of the need to work safely under General Dental Council guidelines
