DDU journal, summer 2021

Patient management skills have been under increased pressure during the last year, so here's our refresher on managing difficult patient interactions.

Any patient interaction has the potential to offer challenges to even the most experienced of dental professionals, and the extra hurdles imposed by the pandemic haven't made things any easier.

In the latest DDU journal, we examine how these challenging interactions can arise. We take you through the practical steps to manage and learn from them - and offer advice on what to do when all else fails.

Also in this issue:

  • Expanding your horizons: portfolio careers and dento-legal work
  • You are not alone: the dental profession and mental health
  • Latest webinars: remote consultations and employment law
