DescriptionThis is an exciting FREE opportunity to learn about how to proactively reach-out to the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups in society. This launch event will outline the details of a regional pilot delivering targeted dental services to adults from inclusion health groups. This initiative seeks to maximise skill mix, and utilise the full scope of clinical expertise of all members of the dental team. We will hear from dentists who will share their experiences of working with vulnerable groups; voluntary sector organisations/support services who will reiterate the importance of good oral health for those individuals seeking to reintegrate and re-engage with society; and NHSE explaining the concept and support offered to participating practices, including commissioning arrangements.
