DescriptionThis course is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about our dento-legal responsibilities. We will be covering GDC requirements, complaints management, recording keeping, consent and current regulations for the provision of treatment. John Makin (from MDU) will answer any questions you may have, and will focus on how to avoid problems where possible. All dentists are very welcome, but this course may be especially useful if you are new to the NHS, returning after a career break, completing VT by equiv or simply baffled by NHS rules and regulations.
