Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Draft Oral Health & Dental Strategy (All ages 2024-2027)

The Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care System (BNSSG ICS) has published a draft Oral Health & Dental Strategy. The Strategy builds on the overall Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICS Strategy that aims to tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access. 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.

A brief overview of the Oral Health & Dental Strategy and the full draft can be found on the Healthier Together website.

Your response to this short survey will help us to review and refine the documents before they are finalised. Please refer to the frequently asked questions document which explains what we are able to change locally prior to completing.

The survey will close at midnight on Sunday 30 June 2024.

The answers you give to this survey will be anonymous and confidential and will be processed in line with the Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) privacy policy . The information will only be used for the purpose of analysis, reporting and updating the strategy where it is possible to incorporate your feedback.
