Draft BNSSG Oral Health Strategy - out for consultation
Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care System (ICS) Draft Oral Health & Dental Strategy (All ages) - 2024-2027
The Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care System (ICS) has published a draft oral health and dental strategy for the next three years. The Strategy has been developed using patient complaints, feedback collated by Healthwatch, a staff survey and with the support of staff across all areas of dental provision, NHS England and local authority public health.
You are invited to provide feedback on this strategy and disseminate to others to comment before 14 June 2024. We would particularly welcome further input from organisations working with communities that are particularly affected by poor oral health including children in care, those with sensory impairment or learning disabilities, the frail elderly, those in the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, asylum seekers and refugees, and people experiencing homelessness or drug and alcohol users as well as those dependent on tobacco.
