Taking the hard work out of clinical governance assessment and enhancing patient satisfaction in one cost-effective package.

Quality programmes and clinical governance compliance

As a dentist, you know the importance of clinical governance compliance. However, it's constantly changing, and keeping up to date can be a time consuming challenge. That's something you don't have to worry about with Denplan Excel because you have:

• ongoing support and independently validated assessments and audits every 18 months and the clinical governance assessment work is carried out for you, freeing you to focus on providing high quality dentistry to your patients
• an automatic audit trail through assessment and audit, reducing your practice risk
• assurance that you will meet current clinical governance standards.

Support every step of the way

We'll be on hand to help you with advice, training, practical support and anything else you need. Our support is ongoing, including access to the Denplan online services for dentists offering specific Excel content such as the assessment process and patient survey results.

Public Relations (PR) is another area where we can help. Our PR Toolkit contains hints and tips on working with the local media, writing press releases, dealing with journalists and general best PR practice guidance.

What are your patients thinking?

Your practice is doing well but could there be any improvement? That' s where our independent Practice Development Patient Survey comes in. 93% * of Denplan Excel accredited dentists found it to be a valuable tool, highlighting any areas of your business that need to be addressed. With this support and guidance, you can:

• improve patient satisfaction, efficiency and potentially margins
• identify any other areas of development and income for your practice that your patients may want.

Make everything crystal clear

To help explain the treatments you provide your patients, Denplan has introduced Patient Information:

• a range of patient facing literature produced in conjunction with the BDHF
• a range of literature specifically for your younger patients
• covers most minor and major treatments in an easy way for patients to understand, including children.

Patient Information is invaluable for informing and reassuring patients about their treatment, making them feel included and positive about oral care.

The sign of a quality dentist

We'll send you a plaque and a certificate that you can display in your practice. This will let patients know that they're being cared for by a fully compliant and up-to-date dental practice.
