Upcoming Changes
As of October 2008 Dr Sharon Stern will be changing her working day from a Thursday to a Tuesday, due to the demands of her specialization course.

The local PCT has informed us in writing recently that "children only" dental contracts will not be available as of April 2009, and so we regret to inform all the parents of the children who we look after, that we will be unable to provide NHS treatment as of April 2009. We are currently in talks with Denplan about an insurance scheme for the children, and we have

also drawn up a private price list, which will be circulated to all parents with details of all their options should they decide to continue to bring their children to our practice on a private basis.

Dr Nisha Patel will be returning form her maternity leave on the 22nd April 2008. To start off she will only work on Tuesdays.  This is subject to change.

Due to our ever persisting efforts to provide the best possible service to our patients, we decided to change our software in December 2007.  The new software allows us to provide more comprehensive treatment plans, patient education and allows us to remind patients of their appointments via e-mail and texts to mobiles and home phones.

We would like to wish Barbara Kyte a happy retirement, after many years of service, and at the same time welcome a new team member, Aquila Zhawu who is a trainee dental nurse, who will be taking Barbara's position.
