Aims

Aims and Objectives:

• That the attendees understand the driving legislation behind NHS treatments and claims and specifically the “Contracts” (3361) and “Charges” (3477) legislation. • That they know of the relevant NHS bodies administering and monitoring NHS dentistry. • That they know of the relevant legislation and how it is enforced relating to NHS/private boundaries and submission of forms and data. • That they understand key legal terminology and specifically definitions of:- - Course of treatment - Mandatory treatment - Splitting - Urgent treatment

They will achieve this by an interactive discussion investigating their understanding of these words with an open debate on case studies and examples of erroneous claiming including GDC cases.

We will discuss:

• change in dentistry, in legislation and regulation, and in the world at large • the objectives and design of the current NHS contract pilots • the measures defined in the quality component of proposed new contract
