Dental recovery plan: dental recruitment incentive scheme 2024/25
NHS England has published guidance for contractors and dentists who are interested in securing ‘golden hello’ funding to support their recruitment efforts.
The scheme is designed to encourage relocation to areas that have historically struggled to recruit, attract new workforce to the NHS, and retain those who might have otherwise moved into private practice. A ‘golden hello’ of £20,000 will be offered per dentist for up to 240 dentists, with payments phased over three years.
Dental recovery plan: updating NHS.uk profiles
