Dental Performers List and Indemnity
Dental Performers List
All Foundation Dental Residents must be registered on the Dental Performers List (DPL). As part of the Lead Employer arrangement, all employment checks that were carried out by NWSSP prior to commencing the training programme will be used as a means to start the registration on the Dental Performers List. The Resident will be required to fill out an application form in order to complete the application to join the DPL, and the application process is managed by the Primary Care Services team.
For more information on Dental Performers List please see information on the Primary Care Services web pages.
Indemnity
Under the Lead Employer arrangement, Residents in training will be covered by the Welsh Risk Pool for the duration of their employment. However, it is the responsibility of the Resident to obtain appropriate indemnity to cover instances involving criminal proceedings and Good Samaritan Acts. This is known as the ‘top up’ element.
This is a significant reduction in the costs you need to pay and should range between approximately £45 and £110. This is reclaimable through E-expenses for your time in a practice rotation.
It is essential that when you contact your provider that you advise them that you are employed by NWSSP under the Single Lead Employer arrangement for Residents in training and as such are covered under the auspices of the Welsh Risk Pool.
