Good teamwork is often the key to reducing risk in dental practice. This year’s conference will focus on how Dental Protection works with members to improve their in-practice communication, record keeping, and consent procedures, to ensure potential problems are nipped in the bud.  

Our panel will present several real-life case studies from our archives. They will dissect each one to highlight where things went wrong and how members were supported throughout the process. Their analysis of the outcomes will guide you on how to avoid a claim or complaint and what to do in practice to minimise your risk. 

Speakers included:

  • Dr George Wright, Deputy Dental Director, Dental Protection and Conference Chair
  • Dr Nuala Carney, Dentolegal Consultant, Dental Protection
  • Dr Martin Foster, Dentolegal Consultant, Dental Protection
