Aim:
The Local Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures must now consider additional features to address patient and staff safety in light of COVID19.
Material And Methods:
The 3 P's model encompasses an evidence-based approach to preparation, protection and prevention, for safety of patients and healthcare staff. A literature review was performed (keywords 'dental' or 'dentistry' and 'COVID19' or 'Coronavirus' and 'LocSSIPs' or 'Local Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures'). Guidance, institutional publications and original research were considered. Limits were applied (2015 onward, English only).
Conclusion:
The model ensures a systematic framework to aid communication among colleagues, provide and support the opportunity for learning, implement best practice guidance, monitor effectiveness of protocols and above all reduce the risk of viral transmission.
