Prototyping is the next step in the reform of primary care dentistry. Following the initial pilot scheme, a prototype of a possible new system is to be trialled in selected dental practices.

The ‘Dental contract reform: prototypes’ document provides information on:

• the background to the reform
• lessons learnt from current pilot practices
• proposals for prototyping
• how dental practices can apply to be a prototype.

This follows an engagement exercise on reforming dental contracts - see response to the consultation exercise.

Prototyping will start from the autumn of 2015.

Dental practices can apply to become a prototype on the Primary Care Commissioning website.
