Thompson & Thomas strives to be a successful, caring and welcoming place for patients to receive dental care and advice. We want to create a supportive and inclusive environment where our staff can reach their full potential and care is provided in partnership with patients, without prejudice or discrimination. We are committed to a culture where respect and understanding is fostered and the diversity of people’s backgrounds and circumstances will be positively valued.

We aim to develop and support equality and diversity measures by:

• having translation services available for patients who need this

• providing services that are accessible to patients with disabilities

• ensuring that care of individuals is planned with their specific needs at the centre

• tackling oral health inequalities through positive promotion and care
This Practice is proud to have been awarded the disability symbol.

The disability symbol is made up of two ticks and the words ‘positive about disabled people’. You will see the symbol displayed on job adverts and application forms.

If an employer uses this symbol, it means they are positive about employing disabled people and will be keen to know about your abilities.

The symbol is awarded by Jobcentre Plus to employers who have made commitments to employ, keep and develop the abilities of disabled staff.
