This survey falls under the category of services and targets dental practices across England, within the health services industry. Taking place during the planning stage, this engagement includes several webinars starting from 22 May 2025, with the final deadline for survey submission set at midday on 16 June 2025. Interested participants are encouraged to attend webinars and drop-in sessions scheduled throughout May and June, aiming to provide detailed explanations and address queries relating to the survey. This tender provides an excellent opportunity for dental practices to contribute data that could influence dental reform policies in the UK. Participating practices can benefit from networking opportunities and gain insights into cost management strategies across the sector. Dental practices, particularly those adept in strategic management and financial analysis, are well-suited to engage with this survey project. The focus on aggregation ensures confidentiality while presenting a platform for private practices to present collective insights that can impact future governmental planning in healthcare services. ## Notice 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.
