Peter Nixon's dental practice in Intake, Doncaster is the first general dental practice in the area to receive the Investor in People standard. It also achieved the standard for the British Dental Association's Good Practice Scheme at the end of last year. The practice has recently organised a number of internal aims to raise its professional standards, such as training, peer review and clinical audit and all staff have been encouraged to participate.
A North Devon dental practice has recently been recognised as an Investor in People. Queen Ann's Dental Practice in Bideford has refined its systems of management and training to progress the business. Founded in 1923, the mainly private practice employs a team of 15 staff and is led by partners Chris Norburn, Jonathan Hellyer and Iain Mackenzie. The staff claim that they have been brought together as a team as a result of the IiP and that it has helped them focus on delivering higher standards of care to their patients.
