Why you need a lead dental nurse in your practice right now!

Compliance – it’s a big word in dentistry with ever-growing requirements. Recently, it was the release of the updated NHS Standards of Cleanliness that put an added pressure onto already overstretched practices with regards to more audits, paperwork and regulations to follow (another topic for another article I feel…).

Anyway, why have I started this article by thinking about compliance? Because, in these difficult times, I hear and see so many practices, particularly the smaller independent practices, struggling to keep up with compliance without resorting to either very generic templates (which run the risk of not being properly tailored to how the practice actually operates), or paying a substantial amount of money on external help to try to ensure compliance.
