Thursday, December 01, 2011- Staff at a North East dental practice toasted their success at a London awards ceremony after winning the prestigious British Dental Association (BDA) Good Practice Scheme Practice of The Year 2011 title.
Osborne Dental, based in Jesmond, has been recognised by the BDA for its outstanding commitment to the Good Practice Scheme and will be listed on the historic BDA Annual Honours and Awards roll.
The team travelled to London last week to attend the annual BDA Honours and Awards Dinner and received an inscribed hand-crafted glass trophy by renowned Newcastle-based artist Jane Charles.
More than 1600 Good Practice Scheme practices were eligible to enter this year’s award. The competition involved a rigorous assessment process, including a judge’s visit to the practice and a separate visit to conduct a patient survey.
Onkar Dhanoya, principal dentist at Osborne Dental and tutor at Newcastle Dental Hospital, who also celebrated his birthday that day, said: “We were delighted to be invited to London to collect our trophy. It was a truly special birthday present to celebrate such a prestigious win with the Osborne Dental team at a fantastic industry event.
“Every member of our dental team makes a valued contribution to delivering excellent dental care to our patients and this award spurs us on to improve even further in the coming year.
“We were particularly pleased to know that the trophy had been created by a North East artist, Jane Charles. It is wonderful to see local talent being recognised on a national scale and we look forward to displaying Jane’s work in our practice.”
The judging panel looked at key areas of the delivery of oral healthcare including demonstration of outstanding patient/community care, range of treatment options, teamwork, training opportunities for staff and corporate social responsibility.
The panel described Osborne Dental as “a very impressive team with extraordinary leadership which has used the BDA Good Practice Scheme to develop an outstanding patient centred service.”
The BDA Good Practice Scheme is a voluntary quality assurance programme for UK dental practices. By becoming members, practices demonstrate a visible commitment to providing quality dental care to nationally recognised standards.
The scheme is a trusted mark of quality for professionals and patients alike and it depends on the whole dental team complying with good practice standards.
Susie Sanderson, Chair of the BDA Executive Board, said: “I should like to offer my warmest congratulations to the team at Osborne Dental. To win the accolade of BDA Good Practice Scheme Practice of The Year 2011 is a significant achievement in the face of considerable competition. The North East community must be delighted to have in its midst a dental practice demonstrating its commitment to high quality and customer service.”
Osborne Dental was established in 1987 and offers a full range of NHS and private treatment. The practice expanded last year to provide three reception areas, seven spacious, state of the art surgeries which include a Dental Implant Suite and Osborne Skin - a Facial Aesthetics suite.
