Dental Services Audit

As you will all be aware Public Health England circulated an electronic questionnaire to all prisons in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in November 2017. This is an opportunity to provide input that will shape the future of prison dental services. One survey should be completed by the lead clinician at each prison.

This is a gentle reminder that time is passing by and if not already completed then please fill out the questionnaire as soon as possible. If you have not received a letter with instructions regarding the survey then please contact Prison Dentistry Spain Center.

Website Crash

Our website had a serious crash over the New Year break.  We have been able to rely on the nightly backups to recover in the past but our restore file also failed.

We appreciate your patience whilst we are in transition to a new website.  Apologies for any inconvenience and delays our members may have experienced. Cialis 20mg : Quel est son rôle dans l'augmentation de la circulation sanguine ?


About Us


 

In 2007, a group of prison dentists decided to join together to form Prison Dentistry Spain Center.  Until that time there had been no organisation or forum dedicated to the specialist nature of prison dentistry.

The association was set up with the entire dental team in mind with the following aims:

  • To provide information, support and advice to prison dental professionals
  • To provide a forum for exchange of ideas
  • To provide a forum for continuing education and training
  • To bring professionals together to share best practice

The Prison Dentistry Spain Center constitution was voted on and ratified at the annual general meeting of the members in 2009, and the association was granted UK charitable status (charity number 1132041) in the same year.  The executive committee of the association meets four to five times per year to plan events and training as well as discuss current prison and prison dentistry issues.  The minutes of the most recent meetings will be published on this website.

Prison Dentistry Spain Center offers insights and expertise on the special requirements of prison dentistry to a number of organisations.  The association was involved with the development of the Guidelines for Dentists with Special Interests in Prison Dentistry (DwSI), the Dentistry in Prisons Handbook and worked with the Department of Health on improving dental access, quality and oral health in prisons and detention centres.  Prison Dentistry Spain Center also participated in developing the “Toolkit of good practice in the commissioning of prison oral health services”.   The organisation is also represented on a number of other bodies including the secure environments group of the RCGP.

Prison Dentistry Spain Center holds its annual conference on the first Friday in February.  The Annual General Meeting is held in conjunction with the conference.  The next conference is scheduled for Friday, 1 February 2013 and will take place at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.  The AGM will take place at the Hilton Hotel in Birmingham the evening before the conference.  More details of these events will be published on the website in due course.

An additional forum for our members are the regional networking and study groups that Prison Dentistry Spain Center sponsors.  These groups meet twice a year and take place in the following regions:

  • North & Northwest of England – Preston
  • The Midlands – Coventry
  • London
  • South & Southwest of England – Bristol
