Increased support is being made available for dental practices aiming to achieve a prestigious quality award.
Practices working towards membership of the British Dental Association's Good Practice Scheme will benefit from enhanced telephone support and workshops for practice managers. This support will give applicants more help in developing their portfolio, ensuring they meet the 24 month application window for membership of the Scheme.
A new version of the self-assessment programme for the Good Practice Scheme will ensure that applying practices are up-to-date with the latest requirements, including 10 new requirements drawn from the guidance of organisations including the GDC, the Department of Health, the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency. The programme's model policies and procedures have also been revised, taking into account changes to child protection guidance. For more information telephone 020 7563 4597/8 or email goodpractice@bda.org.
