Talking as a keynote speaker at the BDIA Dental Showcase on March 14, 2025, Stephen Kinnock outlined the government’s plans for recovery.
During his talk, Stephen was mindful to thank the industry for the NHS delivery already happening. He recognised the need to focus on ‘dental desert’ areas and why support for the total dental workforce matters. The minister’s speech showed an understanding of the current recruitment challenges across dentistry, most notably dentists.
The Association of Dental Groups (ADG) has welcomed the recognition given by the minister, highlighting that its members have been repeatedly flagging that there is currently a 3,000+ gap in the dentist workforce. The association has said it now awaits news from the DHSC on provisional registration as part of a comprehensive revised workforce plan.
