Salaried Primary Care

Join Dental Protection and benefit from a service that understands the specific needs of colleagues working in these three areas.

• Salaried Primary Care Dental Services
• Community Dental Service
• Public Dental Service

Our dento-legal advisers can upon a range of both clinical and managerial experience across the team and are happy to provide support and assistance to members working in the managed services.

Members who provide clinical care in managed services will often find themselves in situations where the complex nature of their patients’ health, disability or mental condition - let alone the dental aspect of care - presents particular challenges. The need to involve carers, parents, relatives and other agencies in clinical decision making can be a source of difficulty. In addition, clinicians working in a managed service need to satisfy the requirements of their employing organisation whilst ensuring that patient care remains their first priority.

For those with a management responsibility or a team leadership role, juggling the various requirements of running a service effectively can present difficult choices and ethical dilemmas.
