Essex LDC) Dental Workforce Development HEE Update Oct 2021 This flyer covers the HEE Dental Workforce Development sessions to the end of 2021 and provides information about new DCP Study Club provision. These sessions provide safe, supportive, peer sessions for many of our DCP groups. These groups are in their early stages of development. The reason why several sessions are “tbc” is so that the group can evolve to be responsive to the members. The aspiration is that HEE will support a number of local DCP study clubs throughout the region. Dental AMR Flyer 24.11.21. This flyer promotes a joint course between dental teams and pharmacists.
