Local workplace reps | We have a network of trained local workplace reps, called accredited reps (ARs) in the salaried service, and dental university accredited reps (DUARs) in universities. Your local AR or school rep may be able to help with your query and will refer appropriately any issue needing specialist support. |
Collective representation | At a national level dentists working in the different areas of dentistry are represented by the committees for each country and craft group, such as the Welsh Committee for Community Dentistry; the Armed Forces Committee. Locally, salaried service and university dentists are represented on the staff side by the a workplace rep. Where there are particularly complex or contentious local issues (such as consultation on redundancy), an Employment Relations Officer may represent groups of members.
