With a new government in place, new Secretary of State, new Minister for dentistry and the merger of NHS England into the Department of Health and Social Care, the LDC Confederation has set out the policy priorities that must be realised if NHS dental services in England are to survive.
This seven minute video outlines our key priorities under three themes:
- Sustainability
- Make NHS dentistry an attractive career option
- Local voices leading local services
- Integration
- Turn Make Every Contact Count from slogan to reality
- What is true of the NHS is true of NHS dentistry
- Representation
- No decision about dentistry without dentistry
- Primary Care means all of Primary Care
The video provides more detail on what we mean by each of these priorities and why they are important.
The LDC Confederation’s Vision for NHS dentistry is a Sustainable, Valued and Accessible NHS Dental Service. We believe that by working together with all parties interested in, and affected by, NHS dentistry we can make a service we can all be proud of.
