Action on oral health for those experiencing homelessness

The Pathway Faculty Homeless and Inclusion Oral Health conference will be sharing insights into how to take action for inclusion for people experiencing homelessness and social exclusion at the BVSC Centre for Voluntary Action in Birmingham on Friday November 23, 2018. Tickets to the event can be found on the Pathway website: https://www.pathway.org.uk/training-and-events/

As many as 15 per cent of people experiencing homelessness have attempted to extract their own teeth because of dental pain, and almost a third have accessed A&E for their dental problems.

Keynote speakers to the event will include Professor Andrew Hayward (UCL), Martin Burrows (Groundswell), Professor Ruth Freeman (University of Dundee) and Ben Atkins (Revive Dental Care), as well as experts with lived experience of homelessness and workshop speakers who will be sharing their ‘how to guide’ to inclusive oral health and dentistry. 

Attendees to the conference will learn how to get involved and take action to improve the oral health of people experiencing homelessness and social exclusion.
