Dental hospitals enter a new phase of cooperation

It is made of eighteen dental hospitals or academic clinical facilities, all of which deliver the mixture of clinical service, teaching and research that is fundamental to the future of dental healthcare.

The face of dental healthcare has changed dramatically in the last decade. Innovations in technology and advanced dental education have led to continued improvement in dental health. By reorganising into this new structure, dental hospitals will be able to work more closely together, combining their expertise to meet the challenges of an evolving profession.

The Association of Dental Hospitals has now come under the same umbrella as the Dental Schools Council and Association of UK University Hospitals, among other organisations. These connections will provide a stronger voice for dental hospitals and will facilitate closer working, both between dental hospitals and with partners across other sectors and areas of healthcare.

Dental hospitals will continue to work with their dental school partners to help ensure the future of the workforce by providing high-quality training for dental students. The Association of Dental Hospitals aims to foster closer relationships with partner organisations with the ultimate goal of improving patient care.
