What is being bought
The Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) invites all dental practices in England to take part in a survey that seeks to improve the Government’s insights on dental costs and the pressures involved in running a dental practice. This will support the Government’s ambitions on dental reform. The survey closes at midday on 16 June 2025. All responses will be received anonymously (unless you choose to identify yourself). This research is being conducted by the Sector Insights & Commercial Strategy Team within DHSC, independently of policy teams. All responses will remain confidential to a small team of commercial and analytical colleagues in DHSC. Responses will be analysed in aggregate, and will not be shared at the individual, practice or company level; only anonymous, aggregated findings will be shared more broadly. We plan to publish the analysis from the research publicly on GOV.UK following the conclusion of this project. This work is separate from NHS England’s Dental Workforce Survey. Community dentistry is not in scope. This is not a procurement. We understand the survey may take a few hours to complete, but this may be quicker if you have access to the necessary information from your dental practice management system and practice accounts. To complete the survey, please download the Excel spreadsheet from the following link: https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/Sr000000q31p/cy_kLXOdlxgF8fXqXOWApASlIKjrIS4.1mTMR3toO5A
