Oral Health JSNA

What additional needs assessment is required?

This section provides detail on any issues or gaps that need addressing to complete this JSNA topic effectively if any exist.

An example of an additional needs assessment on the topic of Oral Health would be to undertake consultation and engagement with Hartlepool’s residents regarding access to services, cancer prevention / recognition of early symptoms and lifestyle risk factors. Consultation and engagement with local service providers / dental services to determine the barriers to providing care would also be beneficial.
