Membership
Members are not appointed to represent a given interest, they are appointed for the quality of their leadership, credibility and knowledge. A work plan, agreed by the network core group ensures that the network remains inclusive and that the Local Dental Network as a whole is representative of the range of member’s interests, with a clear focus on improving outcomes for patients.
