We have a vacancy for an associate dentist from the end of August 2010.
You will take over the patients of my current associate who is going to Australia to work.
The patient list is a mixture of patients on DPAS schemes, Private fee per item and children on a NHS contract.
The associate surgery has a new Planmeca unit, and currently works three days a week although this can grow to full time if required.
My practice has had a Cerec machine for four years currently on 3.65 and I would be happy to instruct you in its many uses. The practice has been a Vocational training practice in the past for a seven year period, both VT and GPT.
If you are interested in this associate position please either ring the practice on 01670 716671 or contact us by email associate@thiswonthurtabit.co.uk

At the end of April, Olivia Newton left Burnett Dental Group in order to relocate with her family! Olivia had been with the Practice for almost 10 years. She will be greatly missed by her colleages and patients. We wish her all the best in her new job and home. All of Mrs Newton's patients have been moved to a different dentist within the Practice.
Burnett Dental Group is happy to announce that as of the start of May, Ann Millward will be working an extra morning with the Practice. Ann will now be seeing patients in the upstairs surgery on Tuesday Mornings and all day Thursdays.
Patients are reminded that as of May 2009, prices for Burnett Care and Maintenance plan have increased slightly. All members should have received a letter informing them of the changes being made. The Maintenance plan is still open to new members at a monthly fee of £13.10. For more information see the Maintenance link on our website.

Further to our last announcement, we have now had our emergency phone line cut off altogether due to the problems still not being resolved. We have also lost our outgoing line on the main phone line.
We will endeavour to maintain a normal service but for all emergencies, please now contact 01670 716671. We are actively seeking out a new company to take over all our contracts and have sent our story to Watchdog. We hope to resume a normal service soon.

Our telephone contractor is in dispute with another contractor and as a result of this all the practice mobile phones have been blocked until this matter has been resolved. This is nothing to do with the dental practice itself.
For the time being if you require emergency dental care, please phone the practice on 01670 716671 where you will be advised of our current arrangements.

Ann qualified from Bristol University with honours in 1981 and since then has gained a Diploma in Conscious Sedation from Newcastle University in 2001.

In 2008, 274 hours of surgery time was wasted due to patients failing to cancel or attend appointments. That is the equivalent of one dentist having 34 days off.
If you no longer require an appointment or simply cannot make an appointment time, then please contact us and let us know and save yourself a £50 fine! Every appointment that you fail to attend could be an appointment someone with an emergency could have had.
Please make it your new years resolution to let us know!
