Abstract

Health Education England (HEE) is responsible for educating and training the health workforce in England, ensuring the workforce has the right numbers, skills, values, and behaviours to support patients. This includes developing a multi-professional dental care workforce able to meet the needs of current and future service requirements. The recognised challenge will be to train and develop clinicians to address the changing needs concomitant with the population demographics.
