Vicarious liability for practice principal members
Membership benefits for practice principal members* now includes protection against vicarious liability and non-delegable duty of care claims relating to the provision of dental services, where all eligible clinical staff are Dental Protection members.
If there are any clinicians working at the practice who are not members of Dental Protection, the practice principal would need to apply for additional protection which would incur a supplementary charge.
*Additional benefits do not apply where the practice is incorporated (i.e. where your practice is operated as a limited company)
