The Government’s consultation on plans for a ‘tie-in’ to NHS dentistry for graduate dentists is due to close this week. The consultation seeks views on the proposal for a ‘tie-in’ to NHS dentistry for newly qualified dentists.
The government suggests that this would ensure that graduate dentists spend at least some of their time delivering NHS care in the years following the completion of training.
