Women’s organisation launches campaign to tackle dental crisis

1 min read Communication
Members of the Women’s Institute (WI) have voted to support a campaign for 2024/5 to call upon the government to end the growing crisis in dental health and end the lack of access to NHS dental services.

The motion was passed by a majority of over 95 per cent of delegates at the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI) annual meeting, which took place in June at the WI’s ‘spiritual home’, the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Melissa Green, CEO of the NFWI, said, “Our members recognise that there is a chronic shortage of NHS dentists and people are suffering serious health issues as a result. This resolution has garnered the support of thousands of our members – and we’re now calling on the post-election government to increase investment in the training and retention of dentists, and to review the current, woeful, NHS situation.”
