Dental Protection is calling for the urgent implementation of pre-action protocols to speed up clinical negligence claims, as its new report reveals that slow processes are affecting patients’ and dentists’ mental wellbeing and racking up legal costs that are among the highest in the world.

Medical Protection Society (MPS) - of which Dental Protection is part - has announced the appointment of Karen Miller as its next Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Our thoughts are with the people of KwaZulu-Natal at this time, and we want to reassure members that we are here to provide the support, advice and guidance they might need to care for patients during this difficult time.

As we enter a new year, we are cognisant that the ongoing and unrelenting challenge of COVID-19 remains at the forefront for most, if not all dental members.
