Mental Health and Wellbeing Support for the Dental Team in Scotland

Add to favourites

NES Dental recognise that occupational stress is common when training and working in the dental professions and that this can lead to burnout and mental ill health. We see supporting the mental health of everyone who comes in to contact with our training programmes and educational resources as a key priority. We regularly run webinars and training events on mental health and wellbeing for all members of the dental team and these are advertised via NES Portal alerts and can also be found in NES Portal/iBooklet.

Not all dental professionals are aware of the support available or how to access the help they need. In this initial document, which we expect to evolve and further develop, we have put together a list of useful resources and contacts to support you, your colleagues, and your family.
