The imposition of the 2006 Units of Dental Activity contract remains a significant source of anger for the dental profession, which is perhaps only surpassed by the fact that, 16 years on, a reformed contract is yet to be delivered. After many years of piloting and prototyping and a more than year-long process to deliver marginal changes, the profession and patients clearly now need ambitious and urgent reform.This does not mean that there are simple answers - the redesign of any healthcare system is profoundly complex - but these complexities must be approached with a concerted and determined effort to bring about change as rapidly as possible.
2006 年牙科活动单位合同的实施仍然是牙科行业愤怒的一个重要根源，也许唯一超过这一事实的是，16 年后，仍未交付改革后的合同。经过多年的试点和原型设计以及长达一年多的时间来实现微小的变化，现在显然需要对该行业和患者进行雄心勃勃和紧迫的改革。这并不意味着有简单的答案——任何医疗保健系统的重新设计都非常复杂——但必须齐心协力，下定决心，尽快做出改变。
