Scottish Public Dental Service Committee
The Scottish Public Dental Service Committee (SPDSC) represents the interests and acts on behalf of dentists working in the NHS Primary Care Public Dental Service (PDS) in Scotland.
The BDA and SPDSC work together to influence Scottish Government through the Scottish Joint Negotiating Forum whose purpose is to discuss, consult and negotiate on all matters affecting the PDS in Scotland. It meets three times a year to ensure that there is a regular opportunity for members of the committee to raise and discuss issues affecting PDS dentists in Scotland.
