PASS (Practitioners Advisory Support Scheme) – East Anglia & Essex

Objectives

-The early identification of dental practitioners whose performance may be giving cause for concern.

-To provide dental practitioners with skilled help, support and guidance.

-To provide assurance to the public, politicians and the profession that the issue of performance is being addressed responsibly.

The PASS Group consists of LDC members and Dental Practice Advisor, all of whom operate under a Code of Conduct and follow Caldicott Guidelines on Confidentiality.

We are here to help

Support is offered to all Norfolk dentists who are wish to participate in the scheme and ranges from simple telephone advice to practice visits.

It is important to understand that PASS can only help those who recognise that they are in need of support and are open to change if necessary.

Discussion of problems at an early stage with colleagues who have an understanding of the dentist’s point of view and circumstances can be invaluable.

With the support that PASS can arrange or coordinate involvement with a more formal resolution may be avoided.

Please note that the support that PASS provides is completely confidential.
