New Patient Journey
£4.99
Coming out of general lockdown has proved to be considerably more difficult than going into lockdown. This is also the case for dental practice re-opening. Many new measures are required to make dental practices safe with the aim of protecting clinicians, team members and patients and reducing the transmission of COVID-19.
Dental practices in the UK were ordered to close on 23 March 2020, with dental care being restricted to providing advice, analgesics and, when appropriate, antibiotics. Over time, a number of Urgent Dental Care Centres were established to provide urgent and emergency care for patients if triaging proved unsuccessful.
Whilst much has been learnt about SARS-CoV-2 since it was first notified to the World Health Organisation at the end of December 2019, much remains unknown. Consequentially there is a lack of high-quality evidence of how best to provide protection to the dental workforce and their patients.
New Patient Journey
