Healthcare. New Primary Care Centre in Musselburgh will offer a range of services
Work on the £20 million Musselburgh Primary Care Centre, which will include two brand new community dental suites, is on track to be completed this spring. The new dental surgeries will also feature
a recovery room, office, decontamination rooms and storage space to aid the dentists who will work within the building. A hygienist and dental therapist will be avail- able in addition to a maximum of four dental nurses and clinical support workers. The Salaried Primary Care Dental Care
Service (SPCDS) will take over the surgeries when the building is complete, providing additional care for groups of people who hold an increased risk of oral health problems. The SPCDS currently has a single surgery
in Roodlands Hospital for the provision of priority groups in Musselburgh. With the new facilities in Musselburgh, the salaried service will be able to care for the dental
needs of the priority groups within their immediate community. Other facilities to open in the centre include
paediatric and adult outpatient clinics, physi- otherapy and community nursing. David Small, General Manager, East
and Midlothian Community Health Part- nerships, said: “It’s exciting to see the development take shape and on schedule to be completed in the spring. “The new Care Centre will offer
21st-century care for the people of Musselburgh and the wider community of East Lothian.”

CAMPAIGN
News
An advertising campaign has been launched by NHS Grampian to encourage people in the north east that good oral hygiene starts at home.
The Teeth TLC campaign aims to increase awareness of seven steps to a great smile. Adverts will appear on TV, newspapers and radio, as well as on buses. Teeth TLC comes after studies have found that oral health in Grampian has improved over recent years, with the number of five year olds showing signs of tooth decay decreasing by a quarter from 40.4 per cent in 2005 to 30.6 per cent in 2011.
