About the event:

Wales is about to see major changes in NHS dental services – with new performance expectations, a stronger focus on prevention and access, and a clear shift away from the traditional UDA model and the newer NHS contract reform. These changes mark a significant shift in how practices operate, and what’s expected of those delivering NHS care.

Do you understand what’s coming and how it could impact you, your team, and your patients? We’re hosting a FREE evening event to break down the latest updates and what they mean for you.

Expect in-depth discussions, practical advice, and the opportunity to connect with fellow dental professionals. Whether you’re a dentist, practice owner, or part of a wider dental team, these events will offer the clarity and guidance you need to confidently navigate the road ahead.

Drinks and nibbles will be provided.

This event is open to everyone, please register your attendance through the booking link.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Events Team on events@practiceplan.co.uk or call 01691 684135.
