Oxford Professional Practice: Handbook of Management for Hospital Dentistry

Healthcare management in dentistry is a highly skilled and multifaceted area of expertise. Although it features heavily in any path to specialising in dentistry, it often doesn’t make it to many clinical resources or books to help guide the dentist on their journey.

More than ever, there is an increased focus on healthcare management within the dental syllabus, and a greater emphasis at more junior levels. Oxford Professional Practice: Handbook of Management for Hospital Dentistry covers the managerial component of the dental curricula in a concise manner, whilst pertaining to the wider NHS setting.

This practical pocket-sized handbook ranges from the over-arching NHS policies, down to the daily management of staff, conflict, risks, and trainees within the dental team. Also catering to the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship Examination (ISFE), it is an ideal companion for trainees on the dental postgraduate pathway, right the way through to consultants in their early leadership years.
