Dental Care for Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Across MSE
MSE ICB, in collaboration with NHS partners, has developed a dental pilot aimed at improving access to comprehensive dental care for patients with head and neck cancer across the MSE catchment area.A key component of this model relies on the availability of Dentists (General Dental Practitioners, Dentists with Special Interest and Specialists in either Restorative Dentistry or Oral Surgery) who would be interested in participating in this initiative. Expressions of interest will remain open until 24th October 2025 for the following services:
Level 1 care: providing access, urgent and routine care,
Level 2 and/or Level 3 minor oral surgery services,
Level 2 endodontic and/or periodontal and/or prosthodontic services,
Level 3 endodontic and/or periodontal and/or prosthodontic services,
Sedation services for level 1/2/3 treatment as above.
For this pilot:
the remuneration would not be part of the current UDA contract
participating practices would gain the unique opportunity to support this vulnerable group of patients through a collaboration between the different dental specialities and the oncology teams.
