Apollonia House Dental and Healthcare Ltd has recently been recognised by the BDA as committed to good practice and has joined its Good Practice Scheme. This means that the practice meets nationally recognised standards to provide the best possible care for its patients.

As a member of the BDA's Good Practice Scheme, each member of the practice team has signed up to the following 10-point commitment:

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 the BDA's 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.

For the last 12 months, the team at Apollonia House has been working hard to comply with the 102 requirements of the Scheme. "It has involved a lot of commitment from all the team", said Natalie Bennett, the practice manager, "but everyone has found it worthwhile and we really do feel that we have improved the service we provide to our patients".
