Main Methods:

  • Analysis of recent policy documents and reports (e.g., NHS Next Stage Review, 'A High Quality Workforce').
  • Consideration of evolving regulatory landscapes, including GDC scope of practice.
  • Review of demographic trends, including net gain of dentists and training numbers.

Main Results:

  • Significant policy shifts emphasize quality care and team-working.
  • Increased focus on addressing oral health needs and improving access to dental care.
  • Limited consideration of skill-mix and funding mechanisms to support team-working.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive debate on the future dental workforce is urgently needed.
  • Workforce planning must integrate health promotion and quality care philosophies.
