Free webinar - Mouthcare Matters: Practical Prevention in Daily Care - Tuesday 24th February 2026

Mouth care and oral health training for carers webinar - Tuesday 24th February 2026

Oral health is a vital part of overall health and wellbeing, particularly for people who depend on others for their daily care.

Poor mouth care can lead to pain, infection, difficulties with eating and speaking, and wider health complications including pneumonia — making effective prevention as part of daily care essential.

Join the Mouthcare Matters: Practical Prevention in Daily Care - free webinar on Tuesday 24th February 10:00-11:30.

This session is aimed at care staff, informal carers, social care professionals, managers and anyone involved in delivering hands-on care who wants practical, evidence-based guidance to support good oral health.

This includes colleagues working in care homes, domiciliary care, residential settings for people with additional needs, end of life care, hospital trusts, as well as informal and family carers.

Developed in collaboration with NICE, this Skills for Care webinar will focus on simple, effective approaches to oral health that can be embedded into everyday care routines, helping to improve comfort, dignity and quality of life for those receiving care.

The session will cover the basics of oral health and why it matters, the wider health implications of poor oral health, including links to nutrition, hydration and pneumonia, and practical guidance on providing day-to-day mouth care for others.

It will cover the delivery of mouth care to those who are end of life.
