Primary care dental contracts – an introduction
NHS dentistry is a key primary care service, and its high profile means it is important that commissioners deal with their contracting responsibilities in the best way they can, which is to make the contractual arrangements so services can be made available to patients and appropriately manage them.
This three-hour virtual training session will provide the detail on the types of contracts there are in dentistry, what services are available and the financial arrangements for provision of those services.
The session will enable commissioners and those working on their behalf to understand the contractual arrangements that are required for the provision of NHS dentistry.
The agenda covers:
- Dental contractual arrangements
- Who can hold the contract
- The services provided
- Financial arrangements
The training session will be led by one of our dental experts. Delegates will benefit most from this session where they fully participate in the questions, group exercises, and interactive tools, taking the opportunities to discuss current issues and seek solutions with our expert and each other.
This session is for commissioners and those working on their behalf with limited or no experience of dental commissioning and is also a useful refresher for those with more experience.
Following attendance on the course, delegates will be able to confidently understand the basis of dental contracting.
