SDCEP Guidance
Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) guidance is designed to help the dental team provide improved care for patients. It aims to do this by bringing together, in a structured manner, the best available information that is relevant to priority areas in dentistry, and presenting this information in a form that can be interpreted easily and implemented. The current programme is shown below.

Consultation and Review
All our guidance documents are subject to consultation and peer review within the profession prior to publication. Feedback from all members of the dental team is welcome during the consultation process. If you would like to participate in this process, please either download the draft guidance by clicking on one of the above links or request a hard copy of the guidance by emailing scottishdental.cep@nes.scot.nhs.uk.
All comments received through the consultation process are considered and the guidance is amended where appropriate before peer review.
Further amendments to each guidance document are made in response to comments from peer reviewers before publication. For further information about guidance development, please contact the SDCEP office (scottishdental.cep@nes.scot.nhs.uk).
Each topic will be revisited in the future to review all aspects of the context of each guidance document (regulations, legislation, trends in working practices, and evidence) and the guidance updated as necessary
