This report from the Dental Workforce Project uses the best available data from several sources to examine trends in oral health, the supply of dental services and the use of dental services in Scotland. The Dental Workforce Project is a collaboration between NES and the Information Services Division (ISD) of NSS, which aims to inform workforce planning in dentistry by using robust data to forecast the demand for and supply of dentists. The report builds on previous dental workforce analysis undertaken jointly by NES and NSS and provides an increasingly robust evidence base for future strategic planning.
