One subject the directory covers
NHS dentistry, explained
Our directory of 12,272 practices reports whether each one is Listed in NHS Organisation Data, but not whether it is currently accepting new NHS patients — that data isn't published anywhere we can hold it. These guides cover the parts of NHS access that are: how the system works, what it costs, how long waiting lists run, and what to do when you can't get seen.
