- assist the smooth running of a dental practice;
- encourage the involvement of the whole team in practice management and organisation;
- facilitate staff induction and training;
- facilitate practice development planning;
- promote best practice;
- help compliance with current legislation and professional regulations;
- support the preparation for, and successful completion of, a practice inspection;
- help practices meet the National Standards for Dental Services [PDF];
- enhance patient care and safety.
