Wales leads the way to improve teamwork in dentistry

An innovative training tool developed in Wales and designed to help dental practices maximise teamwork has gained UK-wide recognition.

The Skills Optimiser Self-Evaluation Tool (SOSET), piloted in 2018 by Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) in collaboration with the Cardiff Unit for Research and Evaluation in Medical and Dental Education (CUREMeDE), took home a national award at NHS Education for Scotland’s Dental Education Conference.

SOSET encourages dental teams, including dentists and dental care professionals (DCPs), to put teamwork at the forefront of their approach to delivering effective oral healthcare.

Initially piloted in 11 dental practices across South Wales, the success of the tool has meant that it is now in use in 28 practices across Wales with this figure set to rise as awareness of the tool increases.
