DescriptionPlease join us in Taunton, on Wednesday 17th June, when we will be welcoming Dr Archana Naik and the team from Dental Protection for our International Dental Graduate study day. As an International Graduate herself, Archana’s career in the UK began as a dental nurse and a hygienist before registering as a dentist. She has a MA in Dental Law and Ethics and is a Dentolegal Consultant at Dental Protection and has recently launched the New-to-the-UK practice hub to support dentists who qualified internationally in their transition to UK practice. We will spend the day discussing common dentolegal dilemmas using real life clinical scenarios. Archana will guide us through the importance of good communication, record keeping, complaints handling and consent. We will be looking at dental contracts, what are the risks and what to avoid when starting in a new practice. There will be the opportunity to meet peers, share experiences and build professional networks. Archana will help us recognise and identify strategies to reduce dentolegal risk and practice with greater confidence.
