Ethics declaration

: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

: This project was a service evaluation of the current standard of utilisation of the dental workforce in a single institute. There was no change to the management nor advice provided to patients or the team. Hence, no ethical approval was required, as confirmed by the trust. Questionnaires were completed entirely anonymously and completion of the survey implied consent. Those who chose to participate understood that the data would anonymously be used for the results in this project and ongoing research. Individual responses cannot be traced back - it is not possible to determine which anonymous individual from the various departments participated in the survey.
