Your experiences of Dentistry in 2023

News - 20 February 2024

People have been telling us about challenges they face getting NHS dentistry. As a result we are working with the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) in the North East and North Cumbria to better understand people’s experiences of dentistry in 2023.

We need your views and feedback to help shape future services, including planning the next phase of the NHS’s dental recovery plan in the region. 

So if you are living in the North East and North Cumbria, have recent experiences with using or trying to access dental services, then share your experiences with us here. 

Across the North East and North Cumbria, local Healthwatch are working together to tackle this important issue. You can find more information about our Healthwatch Network here.

The survey closes on 31 March 2024 and as a thank you for your time we are offering £100 of Love-to-Shop vouchers to a lucky prize draw winner. 

If you require a paper copy or have any questions about this survey, please contact 0191 263 5321 or email info@hwnt.co.uk.

Compliments, comments and complaints: encouraging feedback from your patients

Between December 2013 and September 2014 our Champions carried out mystery shopping in GP practices throughout Newcastle. The aim was to find out the information GP practices gave about their procedures for compliments, comments and complaints, how clear that information was and how easy it was to find.
