Jason Wong, chief dental officer (CDO) for England, shares some insight on incoming changes to the NHS dental contract and what practices can expect from them.
This April sees the roll-out of a series of important reforms to the NHS dental contract.

Those pressures made clear that change was needed to reform modern practice and support teams to deliver NHS care effectively.
