A £3.2m investment, the Kenworthy Road Dental Clinic, was opened today by England’s chief dental officer to provide free services in Hackney and nearby areas – a place where dental decay is prevalent and access to care is in high demand.
Zahra Shehabi, project lead/clinical sustainability fellow at Barts Health NHS Trust, said, “We’ve embedded sustainable and modern design throughout the development of this clinic and will also be sourcing sustainable materials to ensure the facility is as green as possible.”
The state-of-the-art facility will provide a fit-for-purpose training ground for 300 university students each year. The students, supported by qualified dentists, will provide around 7,000 appointments per year for the local community.
