Primary Care Bulletin, 8th January 2026, Issue 371
NHS England wrote to dental commissioners last month following the government’s response to the NHS dentistry quality and payment reforms consultation.
The overall responses to the consultation were positive, and the government will implement all the changes consulted on with amendments to reflect the consultation feedback.
A series of regional ICB workshops will be held this month to provide details on the contract changes. The focus will be on setting out the expectations for unscheduled care, complex care and quality improvement, as well as further information on the other changes.
Detailed contractual and clinical guidance will be published in February 2026, with additional guidance on quality improvement. The contract changes will be implemented from April 2026.
