Free Employment Advice Service

The Dental Defence Union (DDU) has today launched this service for dental practice principals. Dental principals can speak to one of a team of experienced consultants with in-depth knowledge and expertise of employment law, contractual requirements and case law precedents, 24-hours a day. They will also be provided with free advice when drafting letters and receive telephone coaching in managing employment issues.

Rupert Hoppenbrouwers, Head of the DDU, said:

“We know that one of the biggest challenges of running a dental practice is managing staff. Members know they can rely on us for expert dento-legal advice and our dental principal members can now access the same high quality advice on employment matters. We hope the service will help them to deal with employment dilemmas involving topics such as employment contracts and disciplinary issues, properly and efficiently.   

“In the DDU’s experience, providing good quality care to patients is a team effort and it is vital that our members know they can get expert advice on employment issues that might affect the running of their practice.”
