The provider will maintain a majority NHS commitment with a minimum of 75 % of total income for the practice derived from NHS sources. The proposed practice will be expected to be set up with the following principles in place: a) Prevention Focused; b) Workforce Development; c) Treatment Approach; d) Co-production process In order to facilitate the new ways of working envisaged within the Contract Reform process, the practice will ensure that additional space is available within the practice for non-dentist treatment and care. This could include treatment rooms for hygienists, therapists and extended duty nurses and private space available to support oral health education, smoking cessation and other health promotion activities.
