Dentist
Dentists who are willing to work in England, particularly in areas with poor or remote access to NHS care, will be offered a £20,000 bonus. This incentive aims to address the significant demand for overseas dentists to work in the UK, attracted by the promising career prospects in NHS dentistry. In this system, dentists treat NHS patients and receive payment from the NHS.
Government Initiative: Enhancing Access to NHS Dentistry and Addressing Shortages
This initiative facilitates entry into NHS dentistry through training programs, providing ample opportunities for skill enhancement and mentorship. Additionally, the government plans to increase payments for dentists who accept new patients and conduct teeth-cleaning in schools, thereby expanding dental care accessibility.
The £20,000 “golden hello” payment targets areas with limited NHS care access, encouraging dentists to commit to three years of service in these regions. Furthermore, by raising standard payments for NHS work, the government aims to attract more dentists away from the more financially rewarding private sector. Urgent action is needed to address the shortage of dentists in the NHS due to resource limitations.
