Having learnt and worked within the framework of Barts Trust and the dental hospital, I have since become very familiar and comfortable working with these systems and processes that support safe patient care. Nowhere else is this more apparent than in the Oral Surgery department, where systems are in place to ensure correct patient identification, medical history and Surgical Saftey checklists to ensure the correct removal of teeth.
Since doing research for my dental school interviews, reading BDJ and news articles, attending talks and having debates and discussions with industry leader, to recently receiving many PTSR lectures on the wider health economy and external influences, I have steadily built up my knowledge of this topic and feel I have a good understanding.
