The end of 2016 has seen a number of staff changes at Diamond Court Dental Practice. Our longstanding and much loved receptionist Trudi Chandler retired after a staggering 50 years of service at the Practice.  In addition, Reiner Koschitzke, who has worked with us for the last 8 years as our Dental Implantologist, has also recently left to take up an exciting position at a new dental clinic in Dubai. We would like to take this opportunity to thank both Trudi and Reiner for all their commitment and tireless dedication and we are sure patients would like to join us in wishing them the very best for the future.

We are hoping to appoint a new Dental Implantologist in the near future so that we can continue to offer Dental Implants at the Practice.

Furthermore, we have also made several new additions to our dental team. Natalie Tomlinson and Suzie Cooper have joined us as our new Trainee Dental Nurses, Toyia Hughes (Dental Nurse) has rejoined us after living in Scotland for the last few years and Sarah Hattersley is our new receptionist.

To help maintain our high standards of care we undertake regular staff meetings and training sessions.  This means on some occasions the practice will be closed for a very short period of time during normal working hours.

The start of 2015 has seen a number of significant staff changes at DCDP. After 8 years at the practice, Margaret Hodgson has decided to take early semi-retirement and will now solely focus her time at the local Community Dental Services in Matlock and Buxton. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Margaret for all her commitment and tireless dedication she has given to the practice and we are sure patients would like to join us in wishing Margaret the very best for the future.

Catherine Denholm will be replacing Margaret as our new Dental Associate. Catherine qualified at the University of Sheffield in 2004 and, having worked in nearby practices in Sheffield and Chesterfield, she has gained a wealth of experience in all aspects of general dentistry. Catherine has completed a postgraduate course in Advanced Restorative Dentistry and is fully up-to-date with the latest dental techniques and materials.

We have also made several new additions to our team of dental nurses. Chloe Elliott has joined us as our new Trainee Dental Nurse and Joanne Bradbury and Jodie Gregory have both recently returned to the practice. Joanne has successfully completed her Dental Hygiene-Therapy training at Sheffield University Dental School and will be combining her role as a Dental Nurse with helping our existing Dental Hygienists in delivering dental hygiene care. Jodie has spent the last few years working in the Community Dental Services where she has had the opportunity to gain experience in different aspects of dentistry that aren’t commonly encountered in general practice.

To help maintain our high standards of care we undertake regular staff meetings and training sessions.  This means on some occasions the practice will be closed for a very short period of time during normal working hours.

The dates for our training sessions during 2015 are as follows:

A big thank-you to all patients who recently completed our annual practice survey.

The results of the survey can be found here – Patient survey 2014

At Diamond Court Dental Practice we constantly strive to improve the service that we provide to our patients. We strongly value all forms of feedback and would be most grateful if you would spare just a few minutes to participate in our annual patient survey.

The results of the survey are completely anonymous and, in previous years, the survey has led to significant changes to the practice and the way in which it is run. This has included the implementation of daily emergency appointments, the installation of baby changing facilities, and cosmetic improvements to the surgeries and waiting room.

Please also find a comments box at the end of the survey which gives you the opportunity to make any additional suggestions or comments about the practice.

Thank-you very much for your help – it is greatly appreciated!
