Another change is about to occur at the practice. As always we are constantly striving to set constantly high standards in all areas within the practice  and so we have decided to create a completely specialised room to carry out all our cross infection and sterilisation procedures on all our instruments. The room, positioned in the heart of the practice, will be staffed full time to allow all the cleaning and sterilisation of instruments to be carried out away from areas where clinical work is performed. This is in accordance with the ‘best practice’ guidelines from the Department of Health and we hope will free up more time for our nursing staff to look after our patients needs. The works should be complete by Christmas so please feel free to ask to have a look around when you are next in.

Its the future

After a long and protracted research period the partners have chosen the eagerly anticipated new IT system at the practice. This will soon be installed and patients will all be able to benefit from our investment. The new software will allow us to spend more time with our patients and less time looking for and through paper notes. There are many new features that we hope to start to use over the next few months, including one of the most up to date digital xray systems. This will help us to not only provide the best possible care for your mouth but also show you more about what we do and how we can help you. Please bear with us over the next few weeks whilst we put our IT skills to the test.

It is with great sadness that we have had to say goodbye to Oliver Bowyer from West Terrace. Oliver has been treating orthodontic cases here over the last two years but has unfortunately had to relocate to London. He continues to work at the Eastman Dental Institue and The Mayday Hospital in Croydon. He is due to be married early next year and we wish him well and thank him for his time with us.

Well Done Ladies

Well done to the ladies of West Terrace who took part in last Sunday’s race for life. Emily, Sam, Gemma, Ann, Ellie, Naomi and Jane all jogged round the 5k route in under 50mins. A huge effort anyway but especially so as the sun was definitely not shining. We are not sure how much has been raised but please watch this space. If you want to give them a well done donation please go to Race for Life.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Charlotte who had her baby on Sunday 5th June. Harvey Alan Wheeler weighed in at 7lbs and 3oz and mum and baby are doing fine. We all wish them well and photo will follow.
