The Department, NHS England and NHS Improvement and Health Education England are developing proposals for contract reform and to improve education and training of the workforce in National Health Service dentistry. These proposals aim to address the issues raised in Healthwatch England’s report, including improving patient access, reducing health inequalities and making the NHS a more attractive place to work for dentists.
