Scottish Hospital Dentists Reference Group
The Scottish Hospital Dentists Reference Group (SHDRG) provides a channel of communication between hospital dental staff and those who negotiate their terms and conditions of service.
The SHDRG meets three times a year to ensure that there is a regular opportunity for members of the group to raise and discuss issues affecting hospital dentists in Scotland.
Our priorities
- Advising NHS Boards and the Scottish Government on matters relating to the provision of hospital dental services in Scotland
- Liaising with and sending representatives to the BDA Central Committee for Hospital Dental Services and BDA Scottish Council.
