The Practitioner Advice and Support Scheme (PASS) is available for all levy payers and aims to supporting mentor dentists who are struggling and in need of help. If you would like to access this support we can help put you in contact with a suitably trained colleague. Please email ldcsheffieldsec@gmail.com with your name, how the mentor can best contact you and which practice you work at. (this is just so we put you in touch with someone not connected to your practice)
