摘要

Oral healthcare for patients who have been treated for head and neck cancer is essential to the long-term health and wellbeing of these patients. Access to routine dental care has, however, faced persistent challenges, resulting in a risk for oral health deterioration. We present the experience of West Yorkshire in developing collaborative shared care networks between a tertiary care centre and primary care dental services to safeguard oral health for this vulnerable population.

The methodologies used included needs assessments, pathway analyses and practitioner confidence surveys, alongside a range of health education initiatives.

We hope that sharing of these experiences will facilitate navigation of the structural and multi-organisational dimensions of healthcare planning and provision.
