Mae cronfa arloesi wedi cael ei sefydlu i ysgogi gwelliannau a recriwtio gweithwyr gofal deintyddol proffesiynol i ddeintyddfeydd. Bydd hyn yn cefnogi mabwysiadu a phrofi ffyrdd newydd o weithio a fydd yn annibynnol ar y monitro presennol ac yn galluogi deintyddfeydd i brofi effaith mecanwaith talu gwahanol. Bydd hyn yn cymell atal, cynyddu’r defnydd o sgiliau’r tîm cyfan, ac annog arweinyddiaeth ymhlith deintyddion drwy eu cymeradwyo i arloesi. Derbyniwyd saith deg tri o geisiadau i’r gronfa arloesi ac mae’r rhain yn cael eu hasesu ar hyn o bryd. Mae hyd at £1.5 miliwn ar gael i gefnogi ceisiadau llwyddiannus.
An innovation fund has been established to stimulate improvement and the recruitment of dental care professionals in practices. This will support the adoption and testing of new ways of working that will be independent of current monitoring and allow practices to experience the impact of a different payment mechanism. This will incentivise prevention, increase the use of the skills of the whole team, and encourage leadership in dentists by giving them approval to innovate. Seventy three applications to the innovation fund have been received and these are currently being assessed. Up to £1.5 million is available to support successful applications.
