Background
Running a modern dental practice is undoubtedly a challenging task, dealing with the pressures of providing the best possible care for patients while coping with the many administrative tasks that are required of dental teams. The PSM has been developed to support the organization, management and running of primary care dental practices. It aims to help dental teams keep up to date with legislation and professional regulations, prepare successfully for practice inspection and carry out best practice.
