    RiskBites - Talking about time management
    Sep 28 2025
    The busy and often unpredictable nature of clinical practice can really challenge us as health professionals. So, how do we stay on top of all our work? How do we avoid constant battles with an incredibly scarce resource – time?

    How can we stay on time in clinical practice, and should we really worry about it too much, or is that only going to add to our cognitive load and stress? Is it really all that important, and what are the repercussions if we don’t run on time?

    To find out the answers to these questions and more, join Dr Annalene Weston and Dr Simon Parson in this RiskBites podcast titled ‘Talking about time management’.

  • RiskBites - Shared care and scope of practice in dental treatment

    RiskBites - Shared care and scope of practice in dental treatment
    Jul 20 2025
    Sharing care is second nature to most of us, it’s embedded in how we practise, because dental care is never delivered in isolation. Yet while collaborative care may feel intuitive, it’s underpinned by clearly defined principles set out in our shared Code of Conduct and scope of practice guidelines.

    These frameworks outline the professional standards we are expected to uphold, and they become critical reference points if care outcomes are ever called into question.

    Join Senior Dentolegal Consultant Dr Annalene Weston and Mrs Anita Kemp in this episode of Dental Protection RiskBites series as they unpack these guiding principles and explore our professional obligations when providing care as part of a team.
