The Dental Industry Manifesto outlines how the BDIA believes
the next Government can contribute to achieving the industry’s positive vision for the future of the UK’s dental industry and oral health care.
If Government can take the opportunity to build the right
regulatory environment and provide targeted investment it can make a significant contribution to protecting the UK’s oral health for years to come, as well as supporting the UK dental industry.
The Dental Industry Manifesto is being circulated to key
opinion formers across the Government, Civil Service, the NHS and other relevant organisations
Priorities for future government action are identified across three pillars:
The UK’s medical devices regulatory framework should
prioritise transparency and predictability, adopting international recognition as a pragmatic and proportionate approach that advances patient safety while fostering innovation and supporting businesses.
Government should recognise the value in supporting the
provision of both NHS and private dentistry as a means to ensuring significant advances in the nation’s oral health.
Creating a stable and attractive environment that fosters
growth and innovation, while establishing the UK as a favourable place to invest and do business, should be prioritised by Government for the benefit of patients, industry and the wider economy.
Helping dental businesses succeed through, valuable insight, building credibility and trust, and by being the voice of the industry in the UK.
