A seminar on implementation of the new Determination 1 is being hosted by the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Local Dental Committee.

“The first phase of dental reform will be the biggest change to NHS general dental services in a generation,” said the committee. “This will have major impact on both GDS and within NSS Practitioner Services.”

Presenting will be Gerard Boyle, Senior Dental Adviser at Practitioner Services, who will provide a National Services Scotland perspective. He will highlight the main changes and explain how they will affect the operational role of Practitioner Services and its interaction with the wider profession.
