As part of London Living Wage Week 2026 a new report ‘The Case for the Real Living Wage in Primary Care‘ was launched. The report was compiled by Dr Andrea Werner, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Business and Law at Middlesex University London, and is intended to support continued discussions in primary care settings, including General Dental Practice, on the London Living Wage.
The report recognises the different funding arrangements and financial pressures in primary care settings and offers evidence and practical case studies to support thoughtful consideration of what the real Living Wage could mean for employers, their workforce and the wider determinants of health.
The report features case studies from across Primary Care, including Pearly Whites Dental Care who wrote about their experience of being an accredited London Living Wage employer for the LDC Confederation.
