Healthcare management in dentistry is a complex and essential field that plays a crucial role in any dentist’s path to specialization. However, this vital topic is often underrepresented in clinical resources and literature available to support dentists on their professional journey.
Today, there is an amplified focus on healthcare management in dental education, with an increasing emphasis at earlier stages of training. The Oxford Professional Practice: Handbook of Management for Hospital Dentistry addresses this important aspect of dental curricula succinctly, all while relating it to the broader context of the NHS.
This convenient, pocket-sized handbook covers a range of topics, from overarching NHS policies to the nuances of day-to-day staff management, conflict resolution, risk management, and training within the dental team. It also aligns with the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship Examination (ISFE), making it an invaluable resource for trainees navigating the dental postgraduate pathway and for consultants in the early phases of their leadership roles.
