Practice Lead
Who? The Lead will be someone with a leadership role within the practice. This could be a practice principal, partner or practice manager- it is for the practice to determine the most appropriate person.
What will they do?
Lead and have responsibility for Healthy Living Dentistry in practice
Develop action plan & provide evidence
Ensure learning and delivery throughout practice
Organisational support to enable health champion to deliver
Ensure monitoring takes place
Network with leads in other practices.
Dental Champion
Who? The dental champion will be someone within the practice who can implement the healthy living dentistry scheme. It may be a dental nurse or receptionist and ideally someone whose time is flexible to enable them to do this work. An extended duty dental nurse would be ideal but these extended duties aren’t essential to undertake the role.
What will they do?
Organise the campaigns
Disseminate learning throughout the practice
Support the lead in implementing the practice action plan
Support any monitoring and gathering of evidence
Network with health champions in other practices to share ideas.
Training
The lead and champion are required to attend an evening training session and the champions will follow up with an online course (usually 8 hours over a 4 week period) and two half day training courses.
The training is being delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams and is bookable via HEE Max Course:
