Late patient cancellations and failed appointments may prove frustrating for FDs. Make sure they have things that can be done in the practice during this unplanned time, for example, allow the FDs to use the internet in you practice updating the e-portfolio (internet access should be available to FDs in all training practices) or Phantom head work. Completion of NHS e-learning modules, project work and use of Dental Juce are also possibilities.
