The Health Board is interested in receiving tender applications from new or existing Providers wishing to either increase service levels at an existing practice or establish services at a new practice. The Access Sessions will enable patients, including sporadic and infrequent attenders, to have: -a timely dental service offer planned to meet the pattern of how some people want to use services. -access ongoing oral healthcare and personalised prevention to reduce the reliance on urgent dental care services -a resumption of normal activity such as work, parenting and education due to prompt access and treatment if there are urgent and ongoing treatment needs. There is a need for these sessions to accommodate those patients that choose to access NHS Dental Services sporadically or find themselves without a regular dentist or have historically struggled to access an NHS dental practice and require priority, but not urgent, treatment and those patients who were actively receiving NHS treatment and are under an open course of treatment, but the practice is no longer providing NHS dental services.",
