The NHS Information Centre is conducting a survey on behalf of the British Dental Association (BDA) and the Scottish Government regarding dentists’ working patterns and business arrangements. Invitations for the survey were sent on 20th January 2012 to all dentists who performed some NHS dentistry in 2010/11 and/or 2011/12. The survey is fully endorsed by the BDA, who encourage your assistance. It is very important for producing information that will provide impartial evidence to the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration (DDRB).
For the first time, the survey is being conducted on-line and can be accessed through the web-site below:

The questionnaire will only take a few minutes to complete and guidance notes are available online to help you complete the survey. Please note, as well as your name and main practice address, you will need your General Dental Council number (which will act as verification). It would be appreciated if you could complete and submit the questionnaire as soon as possible. The deadline for completing the survey has been extended to Monday 27th February 2012.
