The Skills Optimiser Self-Evaluation Tool (SOSET), developed in collaboration with the Cardiff Unit for Research and Evaluation in Medical and Dental Education (CUREMeDE),encourages dental teams, including dentists and dental care professionals (DCPs), to put teamwork at the forefront of their approach to delivering effective oral healthcare.
It is widely accepted that dental practices perform more effectively when everyone works as a team and feels able to discuss issues constructively. SOSET allows everyone in the practice to think about their role in providing high-quality, patient-centred healthcare.
Research suggests that as much as 73% of treatment in general dental practices could be carried out by DCPs – dental nurses, hygienists, therapists, and technicians – freeing up dentists’ time to provide advanced care to patients with more complex needs.
