The
practice has won Denplan’s prestigious
“Denplan
Practice Team of the Year”.
This
award is the successor to the award which Martin won with
colleagues in the mid 1990s at his former practice. Times
move on and the competition now is even more demanding in
its requirement of the whole team, rather than being a snapshot
of a business.
The
awards ceremony was held at Ettington Park, a lovely hotel
venue in the Midlands in October 2002 – And the fantastic
news is that we won. We had a splendid evening and hardly
drank anything at all...........NOT!
The
team would like to say a big big thank you to those patients
who nominated us.

Oralcare
has been appointed an associate practice for the
Britesmile system
for tooth whitening. This honour is only bestowed upon practices
that can demonstrate the very highest standards of customer
care and facilities.
Investors
In People
We
recently went through assessment as an Investor in People.
This is a national standard awarded to those businesses
who work with and offer training to their staff to bring
out the very best in the business. And again the fantastic
news is that we passed with flying colours. So its another
excuse for the party frocks to come out of the wardrobe.
There
is also a new standard for businesses to
aspire to called ‘Work-life
Balance’. With a number of Smile Oralcare
staff working part-time juggling home-lives, families
and extended opening hours at the practice we think we may
be ideal candidates.
