These MCNs will be part of a wider team which will work under the guidance of the Regional Chief Dentist for the East of England.
It will be the responsibility of the Chair of each MCN to oversee its functioning within the said Terms of Reference published by NHS England - East of England, which will require close communication with identified clinicians from all aspects of dentistry who have successfully applied and been appointed to the Network.
