Redeployment of the Dental Workforce during COVID-19 Pandemic

16th April 2020

Overview

The current times demonstrate a challenge to all sectors of health care. Whilst the directive in the four nations of the United Kingdom is to deliver only urgent dental care, avoiding Aerosol Generating Procedures where possible, many dentists and dental care professionals have a set of transferable skills which can support the NHS during this time.

This webinar is targeted to provide some possible alternatives which can be undertaken in a safe yet supportive way.
