Watch back Nigel Jones, Shiv Pabary MBE and Chris Groombridge for a Question Time special, where they discuss the dental contract changes announced earlier this year and the findings so far.
About the webinar:
Billed as the first significant change to the NHS dental contract since its introduction, the announcement was met with mixed responses from the industry, with some calling it ‘a new lease of life’, and others a ‘tinkering’.
Shawn Charlwood, chair of the British Dental Association’s General Dental Practice Committee, felt the contract changes were ‘modest, marginal changes’ that would ‘not fix the rotten foundations this service is built on’.*
Four months on, Practice Plan have hosted a live ‘Question Time’ panel discussion with Nigel Jones, Chris Groombridge and Shiv Pabary MBE, who discussed the question: have the contract changes had a significant impact on NHS dentistry?
During this one-hour webinar, the panellists discussed their experiences of the changes to date, how they see them progressing in the next few months and what more can be done to save NHS dentistry.
