What to expect
Join Len D'Cruz for an informative session exploring the key changes to the NHS dental contract in England introduced in 2026 and what they mean for dental professionals.
Participants will gain an understanding of how urgent care is managed within the revised contractual framework and explore the guidance underpinning complex care pathways, including how patients are assessed, treated and progressed through these pathways.
Len will also examine the practical and dento-legal considerations associated with providing a combination of NHS and private treatment, helping delegates to navigate these arrangements confidently and compliantly. Through discussion of the latest guidance and real-world implications, attendees will develop a clearer understanding of the changes and their impact on patient care, clinical decision-making and practice delivery.
