Dental Reform: A Practitioner Services Overview
GG&C LDC is hosting an evening with Senior Dental Adviser Gerard Boyle regarding the implementation of the new Determination 1.
Learning Content:
The first phase of Dental Reform will be the biggest change to NHS general dental services in a generation. This will have major impact on both GDS and within NSS Practitioner Services. Gerard will hope to give an NSS perspective on this, highlighting the main changes and explaining how this will affect the operational role of Practitioner Services and its interaction with the wider profession.
Aims:
- To give an overview of the new Determination 1 of the Statement of Dental Remuneration
- Explain how this is likely to affect the role of Practitioner Services
- How this will impact on the interaction between Practitioner Services and Primary Care Dentistry
Objectives:
- To highlight the main changes to the NHS (GDS)(Scotland) Regulations and the SDR
- To clarify the claiming processes for individual Determination 1 items
- Understand the changes likely to feature in successive phases of Dental Reform
