RiskBites - Shared care and scope of practice in dental treatment

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.
