Working in an urgent dental care hub during the Covid-19 pandemic from a dental nurses’ perspective

A qualitative study

Introduction

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, access to all face-to-face dentistry was suspended. Urgent dental care was provided from urgent dental care centres (UDCs) that were established across the country. Dental practices in England were allowed to reopen in June 2020, but access to treatment has still been restricted and UDCs continue to play an important role in providing dental services on the slow route to recovery. In this paper, we present the accounts and views of nine dental nurses we interviewed, as part of a larger project, who worked in UDCs across England during the first national lockdown.
