The session is to inform, educate and encourage collaboration among healthcare providers and community stakeholders. It focuses on oral healthcare within head and neck cancer pathways, particularly in south west England. We will discuss how important vital collaboration between medical and dental professionals is in delivering care, especially for head and neck cancer patients. Examining how to identify and provide access to NHS dentistry for underserved populations and vulnerable groups, along with how dentistry works with community outreach programmes to tackle health inequalities. We plan to highlight the significance of oral health by looking at recent research into the links between oral health and general health.
